FYI: The IP address of the mail server that sends out NANOG list messages
(198.108.1.26) is once again on most of the major RBLs.
Its only on SORBS (of the major ones) as far as I can tell.
I only see it on one listing and that is for dnsbl.sorbs.net.

And of course for my well-intended effort I get the following terse
auto-reply declaring that I am a low life with bad intentions and a bad
image. Wait a minute, I don't have free-email from Yahoo!, I pay for
it.

And not even on that, now ...
Well, I guess he'll never see messages from you, and never realize that
he is wishing you to be damned to hell. Who loses more?
Yahoo does. 
I personally think his message is sullying them more
than me.

Classic Quote #34179: (http://www.quotationspage.com/quote/34179.html)
"A closed mind is a good thing to lose."
reason #6572 not to use rbl's... or to atleast understand what your rbl's
are putting on their lists any why 
(or to whitelist things you care to
accept emails from)
Define most and major please.
I don't see it listed anywhere. Maybe it's in the major DNSBLS living in an alternate root zone I don't query.
RBL is, AFAIK, a MAPS trademark...so there's only one RBL (or set of them run by MAPS).
The latter. DNSBLs are valuable tools, but using any large list as a
one-step block can be quite problematic. Many use multiple return codes,
some of which could qualify as one-step blocking, such as open relay
detection, but some of which should be used only for weighting. An
effective modern spam blocking system uses many layers of screening with
different scope for each layer.
Yes, it's problematic that people don't follow these rules of thumb, but
DNSBLs are a very small part of the problem these days -- unscalable C/R
tends to get much worse. (Use SPAM-L if you'd like to ask people for
statistical samples.)
Resent to the list this time...

Was a mistake and was removed promptly as soon as we were notified.
