I usually make my MTA reject crap with entries like:

551 Mail Rejected - Please check http://www.my-server.com/bounces/

or

551 Mail Rejected - Please visit 
http://my-server.com/whybounce.php?ip=1.2.3.4

... where whybounce.php is just a form that shows a more specific reason 
(date, time and content that triggered the blacklisting) and a contact 
number, along with a gmail.com address that gets checked once per day.
