and discovered that some of the vsnl servers are listed
    in the spamblock databases that frodo.hserus.net is using
    to ward off "unwanted" mail.

[ For ex: http://spamblock.outblaze.com/203.200.125.245 ]


203.200.125.245 is not the ip of the server but one in the dynamic
ip pool of vsnl dialup service. In my haste I blindly accepted the
message from the above web page.

I went about searching for why the hell is it blocked and all that.

Found out that mails from the dialup pools are allowed only from the
mail servers for the dialup pools and all.. (atleast true for the
spam block databases frodo is using).. hmmm

relevant links:

(1)     http://spamblock.outblaze.com/
(2)     http://relays.osirusoft.com/cgi-bin/rbcheck.cgi
        (results attached)

and finally

sorry for the confusion.
