I can't actually say as he didn't respond to my blacklist query. But the
domain that I was polling did match the domain listed in the nodelist and
did resolve to the correct IP. The connection could be established but
would be dropped due to a authentication failure. His logs showed that he
was using my correct domain name also. Based on what he stated this was
just "The last straw". He didn't elaborate on what other issues
that he had been having.

I have a spare Raspberry Pi3 B that I might install Mystic on just to do
some testing.

The passwords used were comprised of eight alpha numerical characters  with all caps.
