MSU in the RBL?

Hi all-

I just upgraded sendmail to the latest package (8.10.1) and switched from
using RBL (Realtime Blackhole List) exclusively to using RBL, DUL (Dial Up
List) and the relay list supplied by mail-abuse.org.  After putting
everything in place, all of a sudden I see this in my log:

---BEGIN LOG SNIPPAGE---

Apr 20 14:53:07 edtech sendmail[26408]: e3KIr7626408: ruleset=check_relay,
arg1=pilot021.cl.msu.edu, arg2=35.9.5.121, relay=pilot021.cl.msu.edu
[35.9.5.121], reject=550 5.7.1 Mail from 35.9.5.121 refused by blackhole
site relays.mail-abuse.org
Apr 20 14:53:15 edtech sendmail[26408]: NOQUEUE: pilot021.cl.msu.edu
[35.9.5.121] did not issue MAIL/EXPN/VRFY/ETRN during connection to MTA

---END LOG SNIPPAGE---

Being as it was refused by relays.mail-abuse.org, it looks like that
machine has been accused as having open mail relay set.  I thought I'd
pass it along in the hopes that someone would know who is admin for that
machine and maybe they can get it fixed.

Regards,
