Unhappy IP in RBL (Blueyonder/Virgin Media)

Recently, I received an e-mail informing me that an e-mail I had sent to a friend (using his work e-mail address), had been rejected because my IP was in RBL. The company my friend works for uses the MessageLabs ClientWeb net portal.

As I did not understand what IP in RBL meant, I visited the MAPS website for an explanation. I used the IP Address Search tool, typed in my IP address, but was told that it wasn't on the MAPS or Kelkea database. Despite feeling relieved, I was also incredibly confused, as the e-mail I had received had stated that it was.

The only people I tend to e-mail are personal friends and family members, so I am struggling to understand why my IP is in RBL.

I am not in the habit of sending spam, although I have been aware for quite some time that I have been on the receiving end of a lot of spam, which I cannot seem to block. Is it possible that as I am in receipt of so much spam (which I automatically delete), this has somehow contributed to my IP being in RBL?

It will probably be the mail server, not your personal IP address.

Problem with the NTL mail server being blacklisted is being discussed here...
