  It actually appeared that rogue.codemeta.com (GNHLUG's current mail
server) is the system that is blacklisted.

  You or anyone else is welcome to find out why rogue is blacklisted with
these people.  If there's something reasonable we can do to get off the
list, we can probably arrange to have it done.  :)

  Myself, I don't have much patience for people who use a single third-party
blacklist as a sufficient criteria to block mail.  They are too unreliable.  
Better to use them as one factor is a weighted-scoring system.

  Ultimately, if your system is blocking mail, it's your problem, regardless
of why you made that decision.  If you are basing your decision on a
third-party information source that is not doing what you want, take it up
with that third-party.  :)
