This is the next step: You go to http://dsbl.org/removalquery and ask
for your IP to be delisted. Then they send you a mail to root,
postmaster or abuse at your machine. This mail contains a cookie or a
special URL to click on it. You then reply to this mail or click in
the URL they give you, and you are out of the list.
Good and bad DNSBLs are different not only in their listing policies but
also in how easy or difficult is to get delisted when you are "innocent".
