Yes, I think our domain has been put on the blacklist. when I go to this site:

*************************************************************************************************
http://cbl.abuseat.org/lookup.cgi?ip=12.173.75.18     this is what I get:

IP Address 12.173.75.18 is currently listed in the CBL.

It was detected at 2008-05-22 12:00 GMT (+/- 30 minutes), approximately 4 hours, 30 minutes ago.

ATTENTION: This IP is infected with, or NATting for a computer infected with a high volume spam sending trojan - it is participating in a botnet.

You need to patch your system and then fix/remove the trojan. Do this before delisting, or you're most likely to be listed again almost immediately.

******************************************************************************************************************

My question is how do I patch my system to remove remove this trojan. I have Trend Micro running on all PCs and servers though. This will help me request for delisting our domain from the blacklist.

Thanks.

Is .18 the primary IP?

If it is, then it is probably a workstation that is infected - have a look at your router logs and you will see a stack of traffic going out on port 25

Ideally, you want to set your router so only a few servers can go out on port 25.
