Some email servers also have a white list.  This lets you put the IP address
in of server you know are open relays, but because of politics, you must
accept mail.

Note: Politics in this case means "Yes, you don't know how to run a decent
mail server, but you are a customer and I like your money...so I will accept
mail from you".

What I usually do in this case is white list them, but offer to help them
out.

Nathan,

Try http://orbz.org/

I believe they send an email to postmaster@yourdomain.com, assuming that you
have a postmaster email address set up.

Sort of amusing, sort of annoying...  I have a friend that works for a major
healthcare group (hospitals, clinics, etc.) in the state.  This week they
started using this list to block potential spam.  Their in-coming mail
dropped off dramatically.  Even other major organizations were blocked, and
all mail from the largest DSL provider in the area (SW Bell) was too.  I
haven't heard what they are going to do yet.

Chuck
