LOL! Apparently Level3 (my upstream) at least has blacklisted their IP, way before it gets anywhere near the Netherlands!

Now if other major backbone providers will do the same, we might inoculate the Internet from this ignorant RBL operator quickly. -mel > On Jan 2, 2018, at 9:10 AM, Jon Lewis <[email protected]> wrote: > >> On Tue, 2 Jan 2018, Mel Beckman wrote: >> >> I woke up this morning to a barrage of complaints from users that our mail >> servers' outbound emails are bouncing due to a blacklisting.
