email sent from virtual domains on server being tagged as spam

The ip address (67.233.71.80) is the address of the email client that is 
sending email to my server.

For the moment, I have disabled the rbl list and that has (poorly) fixed 
the problem for now... .

What I hope I can do (still researching this) is have rbl checking 
turned off for email received via port 587, and only allow my 
authenticated users to to use this port.

Thanks,
Howard
