Not sending mail should do the trick. Our server was in CBL because it had the string "oemcomputer" in the HELO.
F*cking despammers.
Was it the string that caused it, or HELO'ing without a FQDN?
It was the HELO string "oemcomputer.example.com" (with - obviously - the correct domain there instead of example.com).
The reasoning was that OEMCOMPUTER is used by many spammers in HELO (well, it was a tad more detailed, but not much). I hope the spammers do start using MAILOUT or MX or MAIL soon.
