Yup. Screwed up MX record there - which

would want to hear about.

Cue rant about how bl.spamcop.net is one of the more braindead dnsbls out
there. I don't really like it, considering its basic input is "luser
driven".
I've seen more than enough jackasses reporting stuff they did sign up for as
spam. Yes, I've seen a ton of spam as well - but as far as I can remember,
Sun hasn't spammed anyone that I know of, or that groups.google.com can
remember either...
