Oooh.. On the 25th, eh?

The day the dead-for-2-years ORDB.ORG RBL started returning positive for all IP
addresses?

I suggest it wasn't spamcop.net at all. I was seeing out customers suddenly
rejecting mail from us and all kinds of back-scatter from this. If you have
ord.org in your RBL list, you're going to have issues ranging from random
messages missing to getting no mail from anyone, all depending on how far your
mail config trusts results fro ordb.org.
