(The 65.175.128.136 address is one of the metrocast mailservers.)

Note the last line of the second chunk of info...it's been blocked roughly 1/3 of the time over the past month. Given that 99% is considered a low uptime number in an IT situation, 66% is abysmal.

From Tuesday:
We use Metrocast for our business internet, but our domains are hosted by Godaddy. We recently had to switch from the Metrocast outbound mail servers to a Godaddy outbound as we were blacklisted everywhere, and Metrocast could not and would not work to solve it.
