Yesterday morning, I noticed mail-abuse.org appeared to be down (unreachable). I checked again, and it's still unreachable. In fact, I can't even reach its name server.
I did some more looking last night, and it seems it's not down, it's just unreachable from my network. Even stranger, it's only unreachable from Atlantic.Net's primary ARIN block of 209.208.0.0/17. Traceroutes die at so-1-1-0.mpr1.sql1.us.mfnx.net (209.249.203.58).
MFN have a history of dropping in blackholes for unsolicited relay tests... are you sure your njabl experiment hasn't pissed off someone at MFN enough to drop you in?
