It was nothing to do with me - I never did find out who did it, or why. 
In your case, perhaps it's a policy decision by candid. If you block ALL outbound email from client servers then that also includes spam.

Some hosting providers won't allow SMTP on their boxes. No biggy really. Also some ISP's, Earthlink I think is one, won't let an account use an out of network SMTP like port 25.
