Your correspondent is making it all up. Including a fantasy error 
message that does not include the TXT record that DSBL provides had your 
IP been listed. Proper DSBL rejection notifications include a URL like
 	http://dsbl.org/listing?127.0.0.2

I've cc'ed [email protected]; they may wish to rectify their system 
setup. It would be highly appreciated if they followed up to 
[email protected] so that maybe DSBL can update its FAQ to hopefully 
prevent the scenario from repeating itself.

Hope this helps!
