No, that's just it - 209.240.198.119 isn't in the blacklist!!!

You point out another problem: 209.240.198.119 is recorded by the logs as
connecting to SIMS, yet 209.240.198.118 is recorded in the bounce message.
Typically, these two numbers agree - as they should. When the numbers don't
agree, I see messages bounced that aren't in the blacklist.

If there were a practical way to show spamcop or others all the thousands of
rejections we get per day, I'd happily do it. I think this would be a useful
standard, if we had it :-)

True, but I can't be that extreme. Unfortunately....
