<clientdomain #5.5.0 smtp;550 Denied by policy: Sender is listed on DNS-based RBL> clientdomain is not blocked

Hi everyone,
I have a client who get the messange below when ever he try to send an e-mail to the anyone@ISPdomain. The client domain is NOT blocked by the ISPdomain.
Note that sometimes he can send the mail to anyone@ISPdomain, some other times he can't: no change in configuration.
sending e-mails to other domains is ok. The client faceing the problem only with some domains including ISPdomain.
His server is exchange 2000, not open relay, nothing is filterd, and all is fine.
Any ideas?

The e-mail:
From: System Administrator
Sent: Thursday, October 28, 2004 11:14 AM
To: xxxx@ISPDomain
Subject: Undeliverable: xxx

The error message means that your clients domain has ended up on an RBL black list. The NDR should tell you which one, you then need to test your clients mail relay to make sure that it is not an open relay. You will also need to contact the owner of the RBL list and find out why your client has been blacklisted.

This happened to a subsidiary of my company, they were added to an RBL list because on the WHOIS record of the domain there was no email address listed for the domain contact. We contacted the RBL list owner and they took us off the list.

I work at the ISPdomain. And the client mail server is not blocked by it!
However, can you provide me with more details about the second point you mentioned.
Thanks
Does your domain use RBL lists? If so which one. The NDR indicates that mail from your client is being rejected due to them being on the RBL list used by your organisation.

Thanks for the answer Cerebellum, I found that the client IP address is on XBL on http://www.spamhaus.org/ which the ISPdomain e-mail server use to virify spam mail.
I am glad to see that you have resolved the problem, Salehd. However, I guess e maybe Munichpostman should receive the points as he was the first one to indicate the solution. Or maybe a split?
