On a shoestring? They're part of Cisco. They run an RBL, so they can still
block shared servers. I still put them on the evil side.

The RBL that blocked my former employer asked for money to get a faster
resolution. That's extortion. And there's a precedent for considering RBLs
tortous interference: Spamhaus vs E360, which from reading Wikipedia and
Spamhaus's own coverage, you'd think Spamhaus won. They lost: the $3
symbolic damages remained.
