25 blocked

One of my server is unable to connect to port 25 to relay emails. DC says it's because the mail-server IP is listed on - BACKSCATTERER - SORBS-SPAM This seem unreasonable as 'BACKSCATTERER' is very difficult to control. Really desperate now, all emails are looped on server. What can I do?

Did you cause the listing? If not ask your host for new IPs.

A new IP does not solve the problem. The right thing to do is correct the problem(s) on your server. Follow the directions that both of those give you. Then request a review of the IP from them.

I didn't cause the spam listing. We have only two listing - backsactterer - sorbs-spam - last activity reported in Jun 2011 Server's been clean since then. Right now, telnet mail.domain.com 25 is unable to connect. So I don't think new IP will do much. DC insists port 25 is open incoming and outgoing, which is strange. I am missing something or is there something funny at the DC?
