I use a smarthost for a part of the outgoing traffic, I have to as amongst others AOL
and TW no longer accept mail from what they consider 'dialups'. But its that
smarthost that got blacklisted in an RBL. Causing

Mark,
You are not alone and Blars Blarson is one of the reasons I despise the
concept of using single Blacklists. I *do* recommend using them but ONLY
score with SpamAssassin using additive formulas and even then sometimes only
with minor scores. The false positives are simply too high.

Well, first thing would be to contact the customer directly and let them
know you can't email them because of the problem you're having with their
ISP.
Then you can recommend any fine sendmail admins in your area on this list
to come and install their own sendmail server complete with MimeDefang.
