Oops.  I only saw it the once, which I munged.  I didn't see the other two
instances.  I've gotten a new one.

I'm thinking more and more of getting the spamcop address.  roadrunner's RBLs, if they exist,

people didn't switch to the new address when we got roadrunner five years ago, so our
rental property biz needs the AOL.
