Same for http://rbls.org/213.154.225.245 ;(www.cacert.org, which can also
send email). But note that the referenced relays.ordb.org is not mentioned
in either list -- not surprising, since that service was shut down in 2006!
(see http://www.dnsbl.com/2007/02/status-of-relaysordborg-dead.html).
Someone must be confused here ...
