Not true, we've only ever had individual IP's of mail servers in a /24 
blocked, never the entire /24

However I suppose if they got the same spam, from multiple IP's in a /24 
within a short period of time, I sure could understand them taking out the 
/24, I know I would.

Last I heard that script only searches for entries to add into the DUL
containing, typical dsl/dial/dhcp/ppp etc, it's not a general blocking.
I had a 3 hour chat to the Matthew once (when he lived in the same 
city as me) to get a lot of clarifications when they blocked one of my 
SMTP's.
