  No. Nebka is blacklisted. Nebka has no spam filter. Raneb, snefru,
  fafner, and khufu, all of which have spam filters, are not blacklisted.
  Nebka has a problem with just one spamlister, who stupidly thinks
  that the spam it forwards to the spamfiltered machines, and that
  gets spamfiltered there and rejected, is itself making nebka 
  suspicious of spamming. That's the way I read this story.

  There is no bounce. It's an smtp runtime error. It's the default
  behavior of the package.
