My 'your domain is blacklisted' email filter is running at 888 lines.
Many ofg te entries are top lebel; domains.

*@*.bid
*@*.info

etc

The ratio of unwanted to wanted mail on an email address thats 25 years
old now has to be around 6:1.

And that's before spamhaus and 'no user at this domain' reject most of
the rest.
