I haven't run across this with Bigfoot specifically, but I have had one or
two users who regularly receive legitimate mail from blacklisted IP ranges.
If you know the IP address(es) for the Bigfoot server(s), you can put them
in your Client Hosts list, which will override the blacklisting. As long as
Bigfoot keeps their server(s) locked down reasonably well (I don't know
about that one way or the other, but I suspect that they probably do), that
should not significantly increase your spam exposure.
