Dear John Andersen, Thanks for your help.
I can only find a contact email address on its page: [EMAIL PROTECTED] and I had wrote to him sereral time. But there were no any reply. All my IPs are used for email service as we are the bigest ESP in China. I checked these IPs and only get: "Listed by china.blackholes.us". No other information. :( I don't think there were compromised machines forwarding mail thru there servers. It almost lists all of our IPs.
