Actually, I did... I doesn't seem too on the level.

With lines like:
Even we don't block, we just send a 471
reply and let the monkeys determine whether the e-mail looks legitimate or spammy. 

However, after explaining all this about 127.0.0.2, there is a little
note on the bottom:

What does 127.0.0.4 mean?

Not much, it's the only code we return, 
"not whitelisted" is perhaps the most accurate description. 

Guess the number returned for us ?

Ironic, at least.

Were it not referenced by http://Relays.OsiruSoft.com./, 
Frankly, I would care less.

Hello, we are currently having a problem with a vigilante block list
in the netherlands... I figure this is as good a forum as any....

The boilerplate:
Please see <http://selwerd.cx/xbl/>, xbl is a *local* list, it would cost
us time to check whether we can whitelist your IP.
[...]
How would one approach -this-  ?

I would start by reading the web page in the URL you quoted. You might
find it illuminating.
