Looks like; our mailadmin is trying to get in contact with them since quite
an while now, not one answer from them up to now.

We're doing that for blocks we have in the RIPE-Space.
157.161.0.0/16 is an 'EARLY ASSIGNMENT', an ARIN block we're using since
12 years, since the dawn of Internet in Europe ;-)
'teleport.ch' is one of our cable-tv internet service units, so the contact
in the ARIN whois-db is quite correct.
157.161/16 will be transfered this year to RIPE with the RIPE ERX project,
where such 'early' registrations are moved out from arin to the appropriate
RIR.

A lot of those RBL-lists are not very well maintained, unfortunately some people
tend to add whatever RBLs they find to their mailservers and start whinning and
complaining when networks get blocked they want to receive mail from.
