Not to fuel the fire.. but I'm missing something.. when i check the link 
above it dumps to a page that just checks to see if yourdomain.com has 
certain valid email boxes iaw RFC 821, 2821, 2505, yada yada yada.. and 
I couldn't find anywhere that shows they have been blacklisted because 
they allow spamming - such as a lookup via SPEWS, XBL, etc.  Why don't 
they get 'listed' as open spammer relays? ;)
