The volume on the team.net servers is pretty large and the guy that runs 
it spends rediculous time tracking down various mail list issues. But 
because there is so much volume, some of the ISPs will sometimes block 
stuff from team.net.

The volume on the wedge list is close to zero when compared to all the 
autox lists. So even if there was a large volume of spam from that 
machine, it probably wouldn't get shut off unless it go to really, really 
big volumes.

FWIW, MIT gets pinned as a major spammer on a frequent basis by the big 
ISPs and our network folks have to deal with them regularly.

Not that I know anything about MIT's mail servers, of course.
