141.154.5.70 -- no reverse DNS
not on any DNSBLs that I can see (yet, anyway)

According to ARIN, assigned to Applied Metrics:

CustName: Applied Metrix
Address: PO Box 8359
City: Nattick
StateProv: MA
PostalCode: 01760
Country: US
RegDate: 2002-05-03

NetRange: 141.154.5.64 - 141.154.5.95
CIDR: 141.154.5.64/27

"Nattick" heh (it's actually "Natick")

TechHandle: ZV20-ARIN
TechName: Verizon Internet Services
TechPhone: +1-703-295-4583
TechEmail: noc@gnilink.net

But really it looks like it's just coming from Verizon themselves,
from gnilink or verizon-gni.net
