         It looks like this old RBL-like service is hosed.  If you go to
<http://www.shub-inter.net/>, you'll note that the web page doesn't
appear to have anything to do with the previous anti-spam black lists
that this site used to host.

This list had not been updated in ages, and was only there for sites that
continued using it.  During a transfer of registrar, someone else stole
the domain name from the owners.

However, under this new owners DNS configuration, RBL lookups all succeed,
rather than fail.  Since the site has nothing at all to do with RBL, there
isn't any reason why anyone should be using it.

See http://www.ling.helsinki.fi/users/reriksso/rbl/rbl.html for information
on all the RBL services.  Over a month ago they posted this news.
