Well, quit sending me spam!!!   :-)

Seriously:  My mail server is running the spamcop.net DNS blacklist.
It blocks known sources of spam.  If you're being blocked, then someone
is sending spam through the outgoing mail server (SMTP server) you use.

If you're running your own mail server, make sure you are not running an
open relay.

If you're using your ISP's mail server to send outgoing email, then
contact your ISP and have them crack down on the spammers who have
account(s) with them.  There is NOTHING I can do about this.

You should get this taken care of (I bet it's your ISP allowing spam
through their network) because I'm going to add the spamcop DNS
blacklist to the KLUG server sometime in the near future, and then you
won't be able to email any of the KLUG mailing lists from a mail server
that relays spam.
