It is in the SORBSSPEWS-L1 and L2 lists, included in some nLayer ip ranges.

Of course worldnet should not be using the spews blacklist to block
email as it is well known that the spews ip range blocks are too
severe and there are many innocent victims in these ip ranges.

I think the theory behind such drastic blocking is that it might
persuade the ISP (andromeda.ziaspace.com, in this case) to clean up
its act and stop distributing spam to the world.
