Hi Tom,

The URL is effectively saying that on several occasions (latest being 
18th Dec 2004) spam has been reported that originated from the 
Blueyonder mail server - smtp-out6.blueyonder.co.uk.  Doesn't appear to 
be an Open Relay as it refused my telnet to port 25.  That makes it one 
or more Blueyonder customers.  It also means they're not cracking down 
hard enough on spammers.  The URL also states that the IP has previously 
been removed "on request".  This would have been the request of 
Blueyonder as the operators of RBL listings won't take the request of an 
individual, since as far as they know it could be the original spammer 
making the request.

You need to forward that to abuse@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (which I think you 
said you've already done).  If the problem persists send them another 
email insisting they remove digit from rectal orifice and do their jobs :)

Kind regards,

Julian
