Today I came across
blockremovals.com
Who are they?
Their whois contact info makes it clear that this question is unlikely
to ever be answered, at least not without a court order.
(all refer to Whois Privacy Protection Service,
Inc/whoisprivacyprotect.com)
Nothing informative in google/google groups yet.
Which "third party blocklists" do they handle removal requests for?
What MX bounced mail referring to blockremovals.com? Looks like
something its admins are trying to run.
Odd. I poked around a bit and I'm going out on a limb, but think it's
some sort of C/R (Challenge/Response) system run by some not real
clued-in folks.
Same 220 at both systems I checked:
220-We do not authorize the use of this system to transport unsolicited,
220 and/or bulk e-mail.
550-rejected because your email address sending from 66.98.148.43 is
550-blacklisted! Please visit
http://blockremovals.com/?ip=66.98.148.43 to be
550 removed.
DNSRBLs normally list IPs, and occasionally list domains. If this one
lists IP-email address pairs, it's the first, AFAIK (but reminds me of
greylisting).
And yet the remove page is for removal of an IP. Not a sign that this
is going to be a wonderful new BL for folks to use. Then again, the 550
message comes from the refuser, not the BL.
whois doesn't say much about them either, besides that they seem rather
new:

The message that was rejected was to responder(_at_)wilsonweb(_dot_)info and
looked like spam:
May 10 09:08:07
client-65-182-182-80.no-defined-ptr-record.siteshack.net:65.182.182.80
allowed: <responder(_at_)wilsonweb(_dot_)info> to
<webmaster(_at_)example(_dot_)com>
and a lot of others of this type.
Some new trick/strategy of a spammer?
