gateway.wcg.com (65.77.117.10) is being blacklisted by the spamhaus
service.

Can someone at Williams Communications get this taken care of?

Your mail server is being blocked by everyone who uses spamhaus and it's
delaying important mail from your company to one of our customers.
Customers who use blacklists compiled by vengeance-oriented folk deserve 
what they get: No email.

Suggested solutions:
a) whitelist williams
b) stop using SBLs similar to spamhaus.

It is a question of trust: Do you trust spamhaus to block 'evil' spammers? 

Do you trust them after they blocked important mails to your clients that
could -not- -possibly- have been spam?

Make your own conclusions.
