win2k server repeatedly listed in cbl.abuseat.org

Hi All:

I have a Win2k sp4 server with a lot of domains that keeps getting listed on
cbl.abuseat.org.

I've checked the smtp logs and the server's sending a FQDN ehlo that
resolves back to the same IP address it's sending on, as per CBL's standard
for appropriateness.

The server does not have any trojans/viruses and only sends mail using SMTP
service.

Does anyone have any pointers or debug suggestions for diagnosing what's
triggering the listing?

TIA

Just answering my own post...I had one domain where I had set its domain to
"localhost" while debugging a separate issue, and had neglected to fix it. I
believe that was triggering its addition to CBL.
