Hello. Is anyone there?

In the interest of full disclosure, I did discover that rogue.codemeta.com
(199.125.75.14) WAS (as in: used to be) an open proxy and was fixed in, I
believe, January 2003.

The problem is that easynet.nl (and a number of others) DO NOT remove
addresses from their lists - regardless of the number or type of requests.
And a number of others do not validate the requests to list spamming
addresses.

So, if your system is coopted by a spam worm, then your system is dead as
far as these RBLs and internet mail is concerned. Even if you use virus
protection. Even if you get rid of the open proxy. You can never get off
their lists.
