OT: Blacklists used by redhat.com?

Greetings,

Apparently the IP address of a dedicated server that I just purchased is
on a blacklist that's used by redhat.com's mail servers:

Aug  7 18:44:44 SP2392b postfix/smtp[6482]: A52F0516BF9:
to=<fedora-list at redhat.com>, relay=mx1.redhat.com[66.187.233.31],
delay=10, status=bounced (host mx1.redhat.com[66.187.233.31] said: 550
5.0.0 banned due to spam (in reply to MAIL FROM command))
Aug  7 18:54:47 SP2392b postfix/smtp[6576]: 4CE4E516BF9:
to=<fedora-list at redhat.com>, relay=mx3.redhat.com[66.187.233.32],
delay=6, status=bounced (host mx3.redhat.com[66.187.233.32] said: 550
5.0.0 banned due to spam (in reply to MAIL FROM command))
Aug  7 18:57:22 SP2392b postfix/smtp[6603]: 657DE516BF9:
to=<fedora-list at redhat.com>, relay=mx3.redhat.com[66.187.233.32],
delay=0, status=bounced (host mx3.redhat.com[66.187.233.32] said: 550
5.0.0 banned due to spam (in reply to MAIL FROM command))

I got around this by reconfiguring Thunderbird to use my mail server
here at home, which then uses my ISP's SMTP servers as a smarthost.
I've checked numerous RBL's that I know of, but can't seem to find any
that my IP address is listed in.  I'll have to reconfigure Thunderbird
when I get to work in the morning, however, and again when I get home,
etc. (laptop that goes with me).

Anyone familiar with the RBL's that redhat.com is using?  Alternatively,
if there's someone from Red Hat who has the ability to get the
restrictions removed, feel free to contact me off-list.

Thanks,
-j
