That was due to an overly-general access.db entry.  I had put blocks on
210/8 and 211/8 around 4 years ago because of all the spam coming from
compromised machines in KRNIC-controlled address space.  Apparently
APNIC has since given part of those netblocks to Australian ISPs.

I still get ~300 spams a day blocked by this, so I wish I could leave
it in...  Too bad there isn't a SpamAssassin rule that triggers on IPs
with no reverse DNS, as it looks like all of the Korean spam falls
under this category.
