That post was rejected because of the words "porn site". This was quite 
clear from the type of filtering message. I'm sure this post will generate
exactly the same reply back to me...

I'm guessing you're are one of those people at nanog who tried to show me 
list of sites previously hosted at elan that generated abuse complaints 
back in 2001 (i.e. see above url). Those customers are all gone long ago 
and none of them actually sent email spam, so there are no filters on 
elan anywhere (except rhyolite, who can't distinguish between real spam 
and joe-job; using automated means is really not a way to keep long-term 
email filter list) nor were there in the past.

On the other hand as26857 is an interesting "character". I've listed you 
on completewhois for hijacking ip blocks under "web design house" name 
(one more ip block yet to be added, I'm sure you know which one, you will not 
have wait long now...). And there are clear evidence for as26857, wdh & 
starlan involvement in emailcourier bulk email operation:
