Rob,
Nice catch!
$ host smtp01.bis.eu.blackberry.com
smtp01.bis.eu.blackberry.com has address 67.223.92.48
smtp01.bis.eu.blackberry.com has address 216.9.253.48
$ host 67.223.92.48
48.92.223.67.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer bda-67-223-92-48.bise.na.blackberry.com.
$ host 216.9.253.48
48.253.9.216.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer smtp01.bis.eu.blackberry.com.
These appear to be within 216.9.240.0/20 and 67.223.64.0/19 so if someone walked the cidr range a lot more would be known.
