While this particular horse isn't particularly relevant (if not dead), 
there are a variety of illegal things it could be, depending on the 
circumstances.  The key is whether the DNSBL operator can be shown to 
have _known_ that the delist request corresponded to ongoing illegal 
activity.  If it can, it could be accessory, conspiracy, racketeering or 
other things.
