Try telnetting to these servers (you will find most won't allow a connection) on port 25 and then try and send mail.

Typically this kind of situation occours when you have been added to a blackhole list and some domains do a manual import of the blackhole list..

it could be that your "blacklisting" has not yet been removed from some sites..

What I do in such situations is to email from other domains (hotmail etc) to the site admin requesting him to remove my domain or to update his blackhole listing..
