friend reports blocked IP address

[Alexandre Oliva]

lkcl, free software developer and activist, and project lead of
libre-soc.org (and of eoma68 fame) tells me his server, lkcl.net AKA
217.147.94.29, has been blocked from accessing sourceware.org for
months.  Any clue as to why?  Could the block possibly be lifted?

Thanks in advance,

I don't see a trace of such a block.  I see named complaining about
the domain:

In the postfix logs, I see numerous errors like:

Mar 19 15:22:05 server2 postfix/smtp[3889716]: connect to smtp.lkcl.net[2002:2eeb:e34d::1]:25: Connection timed out

and a local outgoing telnet confirms inability to reach that host on
port 25, but I don't think it's anything we're doing.
