Yes. I think that's the information he wanted but the 550 message we were receiving did not mention who had blacklisted us. I can't see that there's anything we could set up differently in SMTP to get a more descriptive reject message.

A client I was working with a few years ago had one of their Exchange servers mistakenly set up as an open relay. They were spewing spam at a tremendous rate, and got blacklisted. No one told us. I think what your Exchange admin was trying to tell you is that in the actual SMTP reject message you got from the Exchange server should have been something like "550 5.7.1 Email rejected because 1.2.3.4 is listed by zen.spamhaus.org", as an example. There are other possibilities besides spamhaus.org.
