Hi!

No mistake, although 12.149.189.2 is a customer's NS it uses AT&T's 
NS as the resolver. We've have complaints from other AT&T users about 
the same thing, as does another DNSBL (SpamCop), and there's now an 
answer from AT&T to one of their customers who forwarded AT&Ts 
response:

"I finally talked to someone who knows what the problem is.  Your sbl sites
have been blocked by the standard DNS forwarders supplied by ATT. This is
due to the workload being generated on them from mailservers."

Duh! This is really dumb. 

Will they also block microsoft in their forwarders when there are new 
patches like last week, thats also generating NS traffic... 

Unbelievable.

Bye,
Raymond.
