thanks a lot for compiling this information, this was really useful!

So, in fact, it seems to be the IP of bilbo2, the new server for mailing 
lists, has been blacklisted on APEWS, years before TDF was created, so 
it's not us being the reason for this.

I researched a little, and it seems APEWS is a rather aggressive 
blacklist that does not offer an option for delisting - in the end, 
there's very little we can do. You should talk to your ISP whether it 
makes sense to rely on this blacklist, as they seem to be blacking wide 
ranges of IPs.

The reason why you are experiencing this now is - apart from bilbo2 
being a new server with a new IP address - that mlmmj (the mailing list 
software) has proper bounce handling, which didn't work before, so you 
would have not received this error.

I must confess I don't know why only some mails are rejected. Either not 
all of your ISPs servers use APEWS the same way, or some mails are 
delivered via IPv6, where our address is not blacklisted.

Sorry I can't do much here - relying on APEWS for filtering seems to be 
bad, as it doesn't allow ISPs to delist directly. :/
