It probably wasn't Rogers that did the checking in that case but rather
someone either testing for open relays (eg. ORBS), or perhaps even
someone actually routing spam through your server (did you check your
logs to see who found it first?).  In either case the result was
probably a complaint to <abuse@home.com> and I hear that eventually they
will act on at least some complaints....  :-)
