I've heard of it...can't remember why.  Perhaps just that they popped up
in http://www.sdsc.edu/~jeff/spam/cbc.html which I check from time to
time.  I haven't had the opportunity to look at their site much since it
does "Evil $hit"(TM) that doesn't render in Netscape for Linux and locks
up Opera for Linux.  I had to use Konqueror just now to see their site.

Or just ask them to whitelist you, but it is kind of annoying that dnsrbl 
would list your server as a spam source, without making any evidence 
available on their site suggesting what caused them to form that opinion.
