The only blocking I use is the following list of RBL. I have an incoming
message that was blocked but I can't tell by which list. Since this is a
sender I need to receive email from I would like to let them know which RBL
is blocking thier mail. I tried going to websites for each RBL but was
unable to find HTTP sites for them all.

1) How can I manually test thier IP in each of the RBL I'm using?
2) Is there an RBL in my list that I shouldn't be using?

RBL LIST:
sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org, relays.ordb.org, dnsbl.sorbs.net, bl.spamcop.net,
list.dsbl.org, blackholes.us

RETURN MAIL ERROR:
550 5.2.1 Mail from 69.72.158.114 refused: spam site.

Try using http://www.openrbl.org

If you're using a RBL like blackholes.us I hope you understand what
you're doing. :)

It's SORBS. They've listed the IP in their "spam" zone. That zone is
one that I stopped using a loooong time ago. The guys that runs SORBS
is "over the top" in my estimation, especially when it comes to that
zone.
