It takes about an hour or so..to remove yourself, and you do get a 
response email saying it's been done.  Of course, the problem is that 
when you resend your mail, it will go through a different MTA, and might 
have an IP that's been blocked.


As a practical matter, looking over those IPs in their logs, it looks 
like the blacklist provider "gets offended" every few weeks..

Fortunately, you get a bounce message, so you can go to the blacklist 
and ask it to be removed which typically happens in a few hours.

(or .64, or .69, etc)

Or, you can just resend the email, and most likely it goes through a 
different MTA at Earthlink, which doesn't happen to have it's IP on 
the list.
