Any chance you got reported to spamcop and wound up listed by them for a
short period of time?

Given the latest trend in spam, zombies that use the proper relay, it's
going to be common for spamcop to wind up with short-lived listings for the
legitimate mailservers of ISPs. At least, until the spamcop guys clean
things up in their reporting engine, which they may have already done.
