I take it you're talking about submissions. Configure your client
program to use port 587 for smtp and you should be good to go from
anywhere. Or install spamdyke (which is highly recommended).
You might want to check your PC for a rogue malware program that's
sending out spam on its own, unbeknownst to you. That might be why your
IP is address is listed at spamhaus. Could be another computer that was
at that IP before you too.

I'm pretty sure that this IP wasn't used before as it's a static IP for a
company where I'm at. As for the client config, I'll have to try that
tomorrow probably. I forgot to change my firewall rules to allow that port
through last night. And I believe I have spamdyke installed already. I'll
have to check that to be sure but if it is, is there a way to whitelist the
IP I'm on?
The only other thing I can think of is that our filters here at the office
block my house IP.
