Y'know, I have never been keen on blocking netblocks merely because they
are home to transiently-connected machines.

And 63.193.123.122 is *not* a dialup, and is *not* dynamic.

I have sent messages to remove at dnsrbl.com twice in the last 5 days,
pointing out that this has been a static assignment since August 1999,
and asking what justifcation they have for listing it in dun.dnsrbl.com.

The only response so far has been one auto-response to each.

If anyone has managed to have a useful interaction with these folks,
please speak up, and let me know how that is done.

In the mean time, I will do what I can to let folks know that choosing
to use that service is also choosing to reject my mail.  For whatever
that might be worth.  :-(!

Not a happy camper,
