This was true when posted, but AFAIK it doesn't hold anymore.

There seems to be a contradiction there. If your MTA uses some blacklist
to reject mail -FROM- other servers, they won't be able to send you
email and your logs will mention that you've rejected server so-and-so
because it was listed in a certain blacklist.

On the other hand, if your mail exchange's IP address is listed in some
blacklist, you won't be able to send mail -TO- servers that use that
blacklist, and you will see a rejection message (and should generate a
bounce-back) with the exact notice usually telling you why.

Part of your message also says that your mail exchange is supposedly
listed as an open relay. Even if you're not an open relay, an RBL may
list you for one reason or another. You have to find out -WHICH- RBL has
you listed, see if you can find out why, and work to get your IP address
delisted.

A tool that can help you find out which RBLs has you listed is
ORDB.org's RBL lookup, which you can access using
<http://www.ordb.org/lookup/rbls/?host=ip.add.re.ss> where ip.add.re.ss
is the IP address of your mail exchange.
