You are right they are not currently listed. But hey were listed listed:

Sun Nov 3 19:27:02 2002 GMT Sunday, November 03, 2002 2:27:02 PM -0500
delisted: Tue Nov 5 06:56:02 2002 GMT Tuesday, November 05, 2002 1:56:02

Maybe they are just opening their email and received a message from that
time period (2 days Ago).

Lets do a search...

ffdcpa.com resolves to 64.227.210.41
www.ffdcpa.com resolves to 64.227.210.41
Mail for ffdcpa.com is handled by inbound.registeredsite.com (5)
64.224.219.122

Now we will look for 64.224.219.122 in the Spamcop BL.......

64.224.219.122 Spam Reports None recorded

Now we will look at their entire Network.......

Other hosts in this block with spam reports:
64.224.219.89 (28) 64.224.219.91 (30) 64.224.219.92 (26) 64.224.219.93 (26)
64.224.219.94 (21) 64.224.219.102 (24) 64.224.219.103 (21) 64.224.219.117
(18) 64.224.219.118 (18)

More than 4 hosts in network have spam reports, considering network stats.
Spam count weighted plus 90% for 9 hosts in network spamming = 402; Network
spam score 402.00: report ratio (0.020) falls under threshold (0.020)Spam
score 0.00: spam report ratio (0.000) falls under threshold (0.020)

Looks like they are not listed in the Spamcop BL.

Please post the entire error message received along with the IP number in
the error message so we can sort it out.
