=>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.
