Delisted ... almost? Well ... drats ... looks like that was a false *negative*. *Didn't* show on http://rfc-clueless.org/lookup/balug.org But did still show in DNS :-/ ... and hit authoritative NS directly to aviod any cached issue(s): $ dig @rbl.saverpigeeks.com. +norecurse +noall +answer balug.org.postmaster.rfc-clueless.org. A balug.org.postmaster.rfc-clueless.org. 4800 IN A 127.0.0.3 $ Reloaded the web page: http://rfc-clueless.org/lookup/balug.org And, buggers, still shows there after a reload. Checking /var/log/exim4/reject* ... nothing relevant since it was submitted to be cleared, only newer failures/rejects logged for postmaster@balug.org are all of the type: auth_server_login authenticator failed for (User) And even at that, all but one of those from the same IP (from Chile, and one from Netherlands). Also noticed newer /var/log/exim4/spamlog ... checked the newer stuff there and ... nothin' there but pure spam. And, nothing relevant received by postmaster@balug.org.
Will check again further later, but can't find any reason it shouldn't have already cleared by now.

Quoting Michael Paoli (Michael.Paoli@cal.berkeley.edu):
I think I generally, if not entirely, have callouts (at least SMTP callouts) disabled.
I hope you understand that was just an offhand guess. I really wouldn't know root cause, but your bit about swap seems entirely likely.
Delisting? It, understandably, is an automated process - and did submit for delisting. Nothing's shown up ... yet - not email nor reject. But it's not super clear how quickly those happen - may take hour(s) to a day or so.
This is annoyingly typical.
It's not unknown for their checking scripts to simply glitch.
Also, http://multirbl.valli.org/lookup/balug.org.html looks moderately out-of-date. It shows listing on bl.fmb.la - but in checking source - both web and DNS - that's already cleared.
How odd. multirbl.valli.org purports to spawn off real-time checks of each of the several hundred DNSBLs, or that's my understanding. Anyway, glad checking the individual DNSBL found no listing.
