Just tragic, isn't it?

Actually, that issue hasn't been too much a problem for me. Responsible postmasters are usually pretty quick to fix errors like that, even in the edu domains.
Bigger problem are legitimate collaborators who can't figure out how to get their systems patched and/or un-blacklisted. Those are the folks who prevent me from using rbl lists.
