This reminds me of an issue I had about a year ago with one of the members
of the Postfix mailing list. I wanted to reply to him directly and it turned
out my server got firewalled on his server, apparently - as his logs did
show - for some strange (non-SMTP) traffic coming from my server.

I started to monitor all outgoing traffic from my server towards his IP
address with tcpdump, then I put up firewall rules that blocked (with
logging) all outgoing traffic to his IP other than to port 25. Obviously no
packets were going out of my server towards his, yet the guy insisted that
strange traffic from my address is still incoming. Indeed, his firewall kept
blocking me and he kept unblocking me manually :).

I was never able to find out what was going on.
