I'm a little confused. Can somebody summarize this? Is it that a mail
server inside cox or rr is likely to get marked as spam because it has
an ip that is classified as within those providers' "residential"
ip-space?, or does it relate to reverse lookup verification of the
sending mail server? or both? Or what??? :-\
If you look at the header of my original post, you'll see that the
originating IP of my laptop is 68.7.51.89. That is the IP allocated to
my cable modem by Cox, and is within the 67.7.0.0/16 netblock.
ANY server I use (unless it is re-writing headers) will have that IP
somewhere in the mail header. A thorough spam filter will check all
IPs in the header, and if that filter happens to be using the Spamhaus
PBL, then it will block the e-mail.
I submitted a request to have the IP removed. I also called Cox and
had my complaint escalated to someone that knew what they were doing.
Hopefully within the next few hours (if not already) it's been resolved.

The originator IP is in every email header. What did the RBL block
say? They usually do a "554 rejected refer to url here for why" type
message.

OK, but it'll give you the same information I've already provided. I
pasted the Spamhaus result in my original post.
host mail.enom.com[63.229.62.198] said: 554 Service
unavailable; Client host [smtp.randomlogic.net] blocked by
zen.spamhaus.org; http://www.spamhaus.org/query/bl?ip=68.7.51.89
(in reply to end of DATA command)
Stupid thing is, that's not even the client host IP.
smtp.randomlogic.net is a completely different IP. That IP is the
orginating IP, not the IP of the mail server.
