Ok.  I grabbed that list.  However, I've run into this:

Email sent from an ebay.com email address from sending MX
smfcamppool##.emailebay.com, for ## of 01 through 20, will be tried twice at
one sending MX, and twice at a second sending MX, all at 5 second intervals
(i.e. an entire 20 seconds of 4 attempts).

Have people whitelisted these IPs?

I've noticed this:

Does anyone know the range of ticketmaster MX senders?  This seems pretty
sketchy as to whether the email will make it through or not.  It depends on the
random IP of the retry ending up matching a prior random IP, within the
acceptable greylist interval.
