Listed where?  I don't see it jumping out anywhere on your web site or in
any common/free DNSBL and the way your rDNS is setup isn't doing anyone
any favors.

201.10.19.65.in-addr.arpa       name = albq-du201.cybermesa.com.
201.16.19.65.in-addr.arpa       name = sf-du201.cybermesa.com.

The more primitive MTAs need you do be doing something like
albq-201.du.cybermesa.com.  Then they can be setup to reject
du.cybermesa.com, which will reject .*\.du\.cybermesa\.com.

And if you think their message was rude, just try to imagine the crap
people send _to_ DNSBLs.  It makes the message from the Swedes seem like
they were kissing your @$$.
