my coworker is trying to fwd an email to one of his clients and it keeps being bounced back with a message saying 'spamhaus.org is rejecting x.x.x.x' -- the ip address is some RR mail server in Virginia... I sent them an email about unblocking our ip but was curious if anyone else has dealt with this in the past?

It appears your coworker's SMTP server is being rejected because it is on the Spamhaus black list.
Does your work have their own mail server? Is the coworker using a personal email account? Posting a copy of the NDR will help us determine why it is being bounced as well.

run those various utilites to see ifyour email server is blocked, if it is find out why:
http://www.spamhelp.org/shopenrelay/shopenrelaytest.php - open relay test
if you are a open relay fix that, if you have firewall, block other computers from sending mail but your mail server.
good luck, spam sucks!

Roadrunner replied back saying that the ip address was removed from spamhaus..... but I don't know if they looked this up and just copied it... like i saw yesterday when i did this... or if they actually removed the blocked ip.
i'll know pretty soon when my coworker tries to send his buddy an email.
he has a personal RR email account and we have company domain accounts through godaddy.. right now we access them through yahoo mail servers because our site is hosted with them (terrible) so we have no exchange server setup.

you can contact them, but if hte senders ip (road runner), is listed on spamhause, the company he is sending the email too will tell you pretty much to fix the problem and when its removed from spamhaus they will be fixed.
what it is is the company firewall/spam checker checks on spamhaus to see if the ip is blocked if it is, it rejects it.
so you really gotta get the ip removd from spamhaus.

spamhaus, at least in my several years ago history with them, has taken a vigilante style approach. and getting off their list when accidently being put on is a nightmare.
