Did he say the reverse DNS didn't match the from or that it didn't match the EHLO? Can you send an email directly to me from CF? I'll dissect the headers and post them back on the list. > It doesn't sound right to me. They did mention I could pay to > make sure my email gets through.

On one hand, I have never been able to track a listing back to a specific message for a serious RBL (SpamCop is not a serious RBL). So you might consider that random. On the other hand, when I took over the infrastructure architecture role for our hosting we were not following best practices and were having blacklist issues. I redesigned the infrastructure, we followed best practices, the reputation of our IP space improved and our blacklisting issues went away. So even though issues are not individually traceable, they do follow a pattern.
