For anyone having problems of this sort I'd strongly suggest
checking out the following URLS:

http://spam.abuse.net/spam/tools/mailblock.html
http://www.informatik.uni-kiel.de/%7Eca/email/check.html

They're invaluable. I've recently made use of this information to
prevent exactly the problem you've described as at least one of the ISP's
in this area has been brought to its knees by massive mail relaying.
