Blacklist & block list for emails/domian/IP
We are a full control company: Sale of Servers to MSP supporting the companies.
I have noticed that all the companies who were on exchange 2003 etc (older platform) did not have any issue and never got black/block listed.
As we move along: We use SSL Certificates from Godaddy, 2013/2010 Exchange : 4443 Port forwarding to Exchange, Properly configured exchange and also Barracuda as a SPAM filtering service for all clients as well.
We go to the point that Port 25 is blocked on the firewall.
Black/Block lists are taking toll on our support.
Is there something we are missing?

I've had ip's blacklisted because of malware backdoors using various ports.
Furthermore if an Exchange server was compromised you tend to notice as it fills the queues.
As already pointed out, the most common reason for blacklisting is malware. Block port 25 outbound for everything but the Exchange server, or get a smart hosting service and have Exchange servers route through that, so the actual IP address isn't an issue.
You need to look at WHY you are being blacklisted - that will give you an idea as to the problem.
