I know this because I have been getting spammed by someone using them for the past week. I have tried e-mailing abuse@earthlink.net several times and have received no response.
I'm hoping a clueful Earthlink admin will see this post and take the appropriate action. If not, then maybe Earthlink should be "nominated" for RBL.
They must have fixed it (or you didn't test it). Lets not be too hasty. Sam
