got listed at cbl.abuseat.org
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.

In spammy times like these you need a static IP to properly run an mailserver on the Internet. Sad but true. Spammers made the Internet a less "friendly" place.
For the time being I've bumped MX for the domains I receive email on, and changed the IP address of the mailserver. Lets see if CBL or someone else lists it again.

fwiw, base.karan.org is not the machine that I had issues with.
can we catch the reason for getting listed at CBL.
