All my messages bounce back as spam...
This is really strange. Here’s what’s basically happening:
Whenever I send an email to anybody from my domain (@ablogic.net, or
207-234-130-118.ptr.primarydns.com), most of them bounce back (from servers
that have spam filters), saying that this message is spam (some servers say
that my IP is spam). The only thing I can guess is that somehow I got added
to a blacklist or something, which’s used by most spam blockers out there.
I don’t know much about anti-spamming technology, but that’s the only thing
I can guess.
I’ve NEVER sent spam to anyone, my mail server is NOT an open relay, doesn’t
have any open proxies (I consider myself a decent linux admin and know all
my open ports), so the only thing I can think of is that someone added me to
those blacklists by hand…
Now come to think about it, last week I reported a spam to some company
named covad.net (or something like that) – their user was sending me spam
from their servers, without even spoofing the username. Maybe they told the
spammer that I reported them, and the spammer added me to the blacklist as a
retaliation?
Can someone suggest anything? By the way, here’s an example of a bounce
with file “undelivered message headers.txt”:

That's a very nice tool there, thanks. Who the hell is barbsell and when
did they decide to put me on the list? Or are they just a money extortion
company? Any other ideas as to what might be causing this spam BS?

I just checked your ip:
http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/ip4r.ch?ip=207.234.130.118
You are listed *only* in in the BLARSBL list, that is said to not be
used by the spam checkers, as it adds whole netblocks rather than
individual ips, and asks for money for "checking a request to be taken out".
Anyway, my server too is in the same situation (listed only in such
list), and almost never gets refused. So your problem may be different.
