http://cbl.abuseat.org/ -- heard of them before ?

I cant work out why they have listed one of my home IP's on their suppression list. The reasons they mention for a listing are :

1. viruses, spyware, adware, open proxies and trojans
2. dynamic ip : so someone else might have been having fun
3. mail server running on Microsoft Windows or is running proxy services

And I can quite assure you that none of the above are valid in my case. So I wonder, what is it that made them list my IP ? Have sent them an email, lets see if they reply. All in all, going by their setup and info they provide - cbl seems to be a very shoddy service, if you are an admin running mail services, and use cbl, wake up - drop their service. It seems worthless, you _ARE_ loosing valid emails.
