me too. One is a mail server of a respected company that is apparently
misconfigured, and has been for a few years. I've written the postmaster,
I've written the IP block owners etc. - they just don't care.
I probably should flood them with bogus email when they call in next time,
perhaps that would make them pay attention... :-]

Craig, you seen that? Dynablock seems to include some static IPs.
(I guess John is at one of those ISPs who mix static IPs and dynamic IPs in
the same IP range, or at least use the same xxx.dsl... reverse DNS.)

40% former usenet accounts, 40% message-Ids, 20% things like
adrianvonbidderavbidder@fortytwo.ch or so; I guess mostly it's from web
harvesters that extract email addresses from mailing list archives etc. but
are buggy (or try to guess antispam-protected mailadresses.)
