Uh, Nathan, I'm sure that might be your policy, but you should take
another look at the message sent:
-----------------
If you check http://maps.vix.com/tsi/new-rlytest.cgi?ADDR=iq-ss5.iquest.net
you will see that this machine is an open relay. We therefore blocked it.
-----------------
Not only does that indicate that the block was based on the relay test,
but it says so very clearly. :)
