[Cialug] OT: CASA China Anti-Spam Alliance?

[David Champion]

The IP in question maps to the mx record for a domain. Sorry if using those
terms interchangeably has confused you.

The mxtoolbox report for this IP address reports the CBL and CBL+ codes.

As I said before, the CASA site doesn't give me any description of why it's
listing the IP, or how to de-list it. I don't know that I should care,
since I don't think sane person would use that RBL. Just annoying that it
shows up.

Thanks anyway.
