Are you reading what you wrote? They are rejecting on mail from:<>,
which is a legitimate reason to be listed in dsn.rfc-ignorant. They
have also been very good about delisting people - in fact, I came across
a false positive about 2 weeks ago, sent them an email explaining I had
nothing to do with the domain in question, but it appeared to be a false
positive, and incuded an smtp session dump. They wrote me back within 8
hours saying they had delisted that domain.

I am not arguing that you should use them for anything BTW - what you do
is your business.
