AFAIK, PDL is Gordon Fecyk's reincarnation of the MAPs DUL (which MAPs
actually bought from him in the first place).  It's basically a list of
IPs that he believes to be in use as dynamic IPs either via in-addr.arpa
DNS, whois data, or ISP submission.  I suspect getting removed should be
easy if your IP really isn't dynamic.

BTW...any autoresponders that reply (especially vacation ones) will have 
their message bounced back to the sender.  Get a clue you people.  Don't 
setup autoresponders that reply to mailing list mail.  I don't care that 
you're out of the office.  I never even knew you were in the office.
