MSU in the RBL?

[Edward Glowacki]

I think one or two of the pilot boxes have been blacklisted.  You should
just be able to resend your mail and get one of the other pilot boxes
instead.  This is a known issue, and I believe they are knowingly leaving
the relay open for legitimate purposes (i.e. the only real way to get some
things to work).
