Does the name 'Ed Kelleher' ring any bells?

I'm not sure if it was ORBS or another one of those blacklist "services". In any case, it was blacklisting all domains belonging to SPRINT and SPRINTnet. I found out because our company uses or used SPRINT as its ISP, as do millions of others. It turned out that this was done on purpose. I concluded that the people running that blacklist are utter morons, and since then I have seen similar idiotic actions either by that same outfit or by others like it (for example, blacklisting adelphia.net smtp servers because one Adelphia customer sent spam via that server). It may be that there exist blacklist operators with more than room temperature IQ. But the samples I have seen to date are not encouraging. paul
