Hi,

We had a similar situation before, in that case, not the nodesix server was 
blacklisted, but almost all ugandan ISP ones. With the IPs that were blocked 
back then, all seems to be fine:

http://www.spamhaus.org/query/bl?ip=41.202.225.145 Orange
http://www.spamhaus.org/query/bl?ip=41.202.225.146 More Orange

(so, back then, orange used at least 2 public ips for their proxy servers)

In our case it was apache's mod_security that was blocking IPs based on 
blacklists.
