   "After investigating this further, it seems the affected ORF users
    all use Google public DNS servers for the queries (or use such servers
    as forwarders in their local DNS configuration)."

Anyone using open recursive DNS servers or their ISP's DNS server for 
DNSBL queries is asking for trouble.  The listing is to get the 
attention of the sender.  It's "antisocial".
