I do wonder (and I don't want to start a war here) if Spamhaus is totally above board or can get 'dirt in their eyes'. The reason I wonder is stuff like this in my logs appearing every day, day in day out. Never opted in. Addresses long since dead, asking to 'removed' just add more and more attempts. I grew so tired of spamhaus missing them, I set up a local blocklist zone in Bind to take care of them.
It does make you wonder why they never seem to end up on any of the spamhaus lists. Perhaps they are brilliant list washers ?
