We're caught in the middle of a spam war. Though we've never been an open relay, and our very small client base does NOT include any spammers, our IP address is now included in blacklists that use sweeps of the entire class C range we're on, and we (and our clients) can no longer send mail to several places because they are using those blacklists.
Note that different spam databases list IPs for different reasons. For example, everyone is in the NOFALSENEGATIVES spam database (used for testing), and almost everyone is listed in XBL (which lists large ISPs). In the 1990s, spam databases were primarily about open relays. Today, they are not.
Relocating our servers to another network is not a possibility at this time. We're working with them to get delisted; it's really in their court but it's going to take some time.
Who is "them" and "they"? The IP you are posting from is only listed in BLARSBL, which isn't important.
Basically, we need to know where we can find a low-cost (or free??) server (a "smarthost"), outside a blacklisted range of IPs, that we can relay our outgoing mail to, until this situation is resolved.
You would likely need to ask someone you know to do this. A low cost or free mailserver will likely get abused very quickly.
But the more important question is why you need to do this? Most likely, either [1] you have been sending spam (intentionally or not), [2] you have security problems, or [3] are in a list that isn't important. It is very rare for someone to be listed in spam databases without falling into one of those 3 categories.
