Just a quick update from me, as I know a few people here host with me.
My entire C class netblock was black listed by Spamhaus.org. They took an overly zealous approach to this, as we only control the IPs 74.63.255.0-15, but they blocked the entire C block because people in the 74.63.255.100+ range were spamming.
This is why I personally loathe Spamhaus :(
They require the data center or maintainer of the IPs (in my case, Limestone Networks) to clear this up, instead of allowing me to get my IP range white listed.
I put a ticket in with LSN about 10am and am still waiting on them to get this taken care of.
In the interm, you can use your ISPs SMTP server to avoid this unfortunate problem. It wouldn't hurt to send a little nasty gram to Spamhaus as well (and heck, LSN for taking so damn long).
Unfortunately, my hands are tied and it's all on LSN at this point :(
