JK,
Check your SMTP attributes (CHGSMTPA and F4 prompt it) and see what your
relay setting is set to. If it is set to *ALL, then your SMTP server is
an open relay and they have a legitimate complaint. If it is set to *NONE
or *LIST, then they are all wet.

All,
I've wasted the better part of a day fighting with spamcop.net. They
claim our
i5 smtp/pop3 server is a spam source because of "Misdirected bounces".
See below
for their FAQ entry. I am relatively certain that the i5 only accepts
inbound
smtp if an entry has been made in the SDD via WRKDIRE and that there is
no such
thing as a "delayed bounce" in i5-land. Would someone be kind enough to
confirm
this or help me understand what I'm missing?
Many thanks, JK
"Problem: Misdirected bounces
Description: When a mail server accepts a message and later decides
that it
can't deliver the message, it is required to send back a bounce email to
the
sender of the original message. These bounce emails are often
misdirected.
Solution: Upgrade and/or configure your mail server software so that
this
situation is never encountered. Configure your software to either reject
messages
during delivery or accept them permanently. Do not let your software
make choices
about delivery after it has accepted a message. If you must accept
delivery
before you know the status of a message, then file it internally - do
not send,
forward or bounce it outside your organization. The errant message can
be placed
in a special folder or routed to your postmaster."
