I ran a number of IPs through the different spam lists more out of
curiosity than because we were having a problem. I started off using the
declude tool for checking to see if our IP's were listed anywhere. (I
checked the primary IP's for different servers we have)

Anyhow, to make a long story short -- and a word of warning to all --
shortly after doing this, in some cases within hours - I started to see
some odd things in our logs. Apparently some of the anti-spam bots checking
our servers for relaying etc. 

We have relaying secured, but sure enough, all of a sudden we started
having problems on a couple of these servers we had never had problems
with. In both of these cases, all of a sudden we're getting reports from
clients that email they are sending is getting returned with a message that
the return address was rejected by a recipient mail server. Unfortunately,
I can't tell from the messages which list these ISP's/hosting companies may
be using.

I've ran these IP's again and they still aren't showing up on any listings.
But the problems with rejected emails are increasing. Anyone have any ideas
on what might be the cause of this?

Thanks for any words of wisdom!
