on
Try one of these:
http://www.mxtoolbox.com/blacklists.aspx
http://www.dnsbl.info/advanced.asp

You should probably check spamhaus.org directly here: 
http://www.spamhaus.org/zen/

If you find yourself on one or more blacklists, visit the blacklist's Web 
page for information on removal or whitelisting.
