Hi,

For months I have been spammed by the-greatest-websites.com, and it
seems impossible to stop the torrent.  Sending emails to postmaster &
abuse always ends like this:

> This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification
>
> THIS IS A WARNING MESSAGE ONLY.
>
> YOU DO NOT NEED TO RESEND YOUR MESSAGE.
>
> Delivery to the following recipient has been delayed:
>
>     postmaster at the-greatest-websites.com

Which looks like a fairly standard mailer dæmon message.  Consider
this, however:

#v+

$ dig mx the-greatest-websites.com +short
10 the-greatest-websites.com.
$ telnet the-greatest-websites.com smtp
Trying 208.65.60.154...
Connected to the-greatest-websites.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.
$

#v-

Trying to access port 25 "always" (as in "whenever I have tried") ends
like shown above.

Is this enough to include the site in RFCI?

Cheers,
