I think you will find that the MX's for ols.es are indeed listed at
backscatterer.org :

      Testresult for 78.129.233.52:
      This IP IS CURRENTLY LISTED in our Database.


      Testresult for 82.98.132.208:
      This IP IS CURRENTLY LISTED in our Database.


And have been listed on and off for a while.
