As a FYI, that class B appears to have gone totally silent on the 
spamming front on the 9th of Sept or thereabouts.  We were getting ~40 
attempts per day from it.

If anybody needs samples, contact me - quickly.  We only retain it for 
about two weeks.  Spams all referencing www.dnt.opt.listaudit.biz 
(resolves to  141.152.34.207, apparently Verizon, also blacklisted as 
being part of Empire Towers)

It's still listed on SPEWS.

I killed our manual blacklisting.
