Hmm, doesn't work for me:

-----
# dig -x 217.118.195.58  

; <<>> DiG 9.2.3 <<>> -x 217.118.195.58
;; global options:  printcmd
;; Got answer:

Well, at least you're able to establish a _connection_ to mx.hispeed.ch :->
Our server IP range was blocked there for days and days but after a gazillion of mails 
and phone calls I finally found a friend of mine whose friend is a friend [...] of 
someone who works at cablecom and happens to be sitting next to the cablecom 
mailserver admin. So finally they added a -j ACCEPT rule for our MTAs....<duh!>

Let's see if I can find out any contact information of that admin....

BTW, the following explanations were given to me:

- cablecom applies filters whenever they feel like
- no-one gets informed when a filter is added
- the filter will remain active until the admin of the IP / IP range that was filtered 
contacts cablecom
- they do not read mails sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED]/swissonline.ch, quote "there are 
simply too many mails coming in there so it's easier to simply /dev/null all of them"

<sigh!>

cheers,
