We use a few short replies with URLs. Examples from recent logs (I've added
the 550):
500 rejected see
http://www.olympus.net/spamhaus/222.174.169.126
And
550 rejected see
http://www.olympus.net/local/64.201.122.119
Both pages provide an explanation and a form to ask us for an exemption.
(We can exempt by IP address or by sender/recipient pairs.) The spamhaus
page builds a link to SpamHaus's site which asks about the IP, so that
appropriate people can try to deal with the SpamHaus listing.
Both pages seriously need rework...but they do often seem to get the job
done.
When we were using rbl-plus, we had a similar page for that operation.
