Since the product of proper divisors must be > 1, these terms are necessarily composite. - Derek Orr, Apr 05 2015

EXAMPLE
The product of the proper divisors of 2636 is 6948496 (a palindrome). So, 2636 is a member of this sequence.
The product of the proper divisors of 8 is 8 (a palindrome) but equal to 8. So 8 is not in this sequence.
