A number of ISPs use njabl.org as a DNS BL server. However, starting jan 2 a new domain exists "njalb.org" which is serving A records for anything queried against it's DNS server.

I know of at least one ISP that is likely dropping mail from everyone... -- "In the bathtub of history the truth is harder to hold than the soap, and much more difficult to find." -- Terry Pratchett
