My ip is listed as a BACKSCATTERER, but that Ip does not accept mail
from internet, It only relays mail from my network. Please
explain.....someone.

Is it possible that a bounce message stems from your network and is sent
to the internet via your IP relaying for your network ? If that's the
case you've found the problem : outgoing bounces directed at spamtraps
from backscatterer.org.

No list (that I know of) will ever list you for ACCEPTING things. You
generally get listed for what you SEND.

So presumably the mail that is being relayed by this listed server must
include null-sender mail that is reaching UCEPROTECT spamtraps. Like as
not, you are configured to generate late (i.e. after SMTP) non-delivery
notices, and they emerge from your network via this relay.

Presumably you've sent a DSN to a forged address. SWcan your logs for
postmaster, <> and uceprotect.
