I agree he could have included more information than he did without
giving away names involved. One piece of wording suggests he is an
admin at a box or rack rental place such as rackspace rather than a

he's expected to clear up.
maybe its the TYPES of things that arbitrary blacklists do.
we had a vendor talk a marketing person into letting him plug his
(infected) laptop into the conference room ethernet jack.
yes, the IDS went crazy, and it took all of 60 seconds for the SOC
manager to turn the switchport off.
yes, in 60 seconds, godaddy had blacklisted our WHOLE CLASS C. (I
would not care if they blacklisted that ip, and we gave the marketing
person a week vacation to think about what they did, and we disabled the
networking jack in the conference room and took away all the cables)
godaddy refused to unblacklist our whole class c until we put a rdns on
the ip address that we would not normally use for anything.
oh, and it took them 72 hours to update their blacklist. less than 60
seconds to get on, more than 72 hours to get off.
typical? I don't know. I also know that back in the cabal days (tinc)
if you publicly insulted certain blacklist operators they would put you
on their list.
would trend force someone to change their dns to 'smtp'? don't know,
but we send to people with trend all the time and our dns isn't smtp*.
