Likely they were testing to see if you had an open relay. Thats' the 'o' and the 'r' in their name. Every bl place I've look at has some system for testing for open relays. This is part of how they generate their list.
Note, using a bl will reduce, but not eliminate spam. You'll likely need to set up an additional filtering system. Sendmail has the Mitler API, and I'm pretty sure both qmail and postfix have similar mechanisms.
