[aklug] Re: Check my headers (I.P. blacklisted)

If you really have had that static IP for that long... I have an idea.

Register a domain, if you don't already have one. Request that MTA SWIP
the info on your static over to you, and in turn you request that they
change the PTR records for the IP to something like mx.yourdomain.org

It's worth a shot.
