cas.org was on my old (and revived) list of evil openrelay and/or spamhavens. After the first few hundred pieces of spam at the start of a week\, you do something about it.
You're a touch over-eager\, I think. You're blocking mail from me too and\, last I knew\, nobody'd used my machine as a spam-relay...
No\, I am not blocking mail from sidhe.org.

Ummm... yes you are. A quick transcript:

FWIW\, my mail server's hanging off the TCI/AT&T @Home network\, which might be part of the problem. (Might want to fix the 550 message some if you can in that case\, though)
