They also bounce mail from usa.net which is neither a rogue site nor a
net-abuser, well-known or otherwise. My guess is that they are stupid and
moronic and have been suckered into thinking usa.net is a net-abuser simply
because usa.net is an address sometimes forged onto spam originating from
such places as ix.netcom.com and Earthstink. (If they would only look at
the Received: headers and do a traceroute or two they'd know where that
shit really came from, but they are either stupid or lazy.)
CRL is an irresponsible net neighbor and they have been somewhat
troublesome and unfriendly for years although it is only recently that they
seem to be become a real annoyance.
CRL is also notorious for the hypocritial policy of wilfully hosting
spamvertised websites.

...as I was saying... they have been obnoxious net neighbors for years
although this capricious and inconsistent blocking of arbitrary email
addresses is a new one on me.
