Why would digex be listed? AFAIK they are an fairly well behaved nowdays. I 
mean, sure they were notorious in the 1990's, but recently?

No listing in any blacklists:
http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/ip4r.ch?ip=164.109.26.27
No matches for that IP in google groups:
http://groups-beta.google.com/groups?q=164.109.26.27
No digex zone at blackholes.us:
        http://www.blackholes.us/
However the hostname does reflect that this is honda's marketing listserv:
        Host name: ebizmail.honda.com
        IP address: 164.109.26.27
        Alias(es): None
The only SBL entries for the whole digex ISP are: 
<http://www.spamhaus.org/sbl/sbl.lasso?query=SBL22573>SBL22573  and 
<http://www.spamhaus.org/sbl/sbl.lasso?query=SBL17550>SBL17550 , both of 
which are single IP listings related to them hosting gevalia's main 
website. Spamhaus claims they contract out spam runs to folks like Eddy 
Marin, but they do not claim that they spam via the digex network.

Digging in google groups on NANAS I really find very few reports on them, 
and all the ones I do find are webhosting complaints, not spamming complaints.

Although, really, digex is now owned by MCI.. so maybe they've turned back 
downhill...
