Nathan,

To get removed from the lists, go to the web site of the black lists
you are on.  They will usually have instructions on how to get back off
the list when you have fixed your open relay problem.

Thank you for the tip, Bob.  Apparently my server had been used as a
relay,
and was "black-holed".  I recently figured out to stop the open-relay,
but I
need to get it removed from lists like these.

Apparently this is a common problem.  The midrange.com archives have a
lot
of useful information about recovering from open-relay problems.
