I just went and slapped someone (not really!), and had that fixed - it 
*should* have read 127.3.100.7, and means that their mailing policy is 
"opt-in" (ahem - NOT confirmed opt-in, which has a code of 
127.3.100.10).

It's simply an alternative to 127.0.0.1, as we have had a couple of 
queriers say that was what they could use, and only what they could use 
- and it's now documented on the codes page.  Thank you for bringing 
these to our attention!

EPIA is the Email Processing Industry Alliance.  It's a cross-industry 
alliance of ISPs, Spam Filtering companies, Email Service Providers, 
and online marketers.

 From the site at http://www.epialliance.org:

"We meet on a regular basis for the purpose of both working together, 
and making industry recommendations, to help ensure that we only 
deliver email which users want, and not email which users don't want. 
In other words, only wanted mail, and not spam. Each and every of our 
members is dedicated to this goal, and subscribes and adheres to the 
highest standards of email processing management. Our members work 
together to help each other and the industry to achieve the twin goals 
of maximum email deliverability, and minimum spam."

I happen to be involved with it, because it came out of the original 
Email Deliverability Summits which I organized.

You missed:

127.0.1.255, which means "vouched", and is good for 10 points.  
"Vouched" means that they are personally known to ISIPP through 
industry dealings, and known to be senders genuinely striving to do the 
right thing.
