It seems they are using SPEWS (www.spews.org).

A rude way to find out that our ISP has a problem with the IP address they
gave us :-{

   I wonder if you're using any RBL to avoid spam.

   They're quite effective, since most of spam comes from
   open relays or misconfigured proxies.


Only if the wars between the various blacklists have died out.  A
little internet history: open relays were designed to allow people
with unreliable email connections to communicate.  The newbies on the
internet have messed that up, but there are still areas in the world
where the original problem still exists.

Frankly the antispammers are more of a pita than the spammers.
