I don't currently run the mail server on pilot, but I did do the 
original installation and setup of it way back in March of 2009.  I do 
still run two mail servers which are basically clones of what we have on 
pilot, and I have occasionally put in such blacklist removal requests.  
And I have also put in temporary routing rules to relay all 
earthlink.com-destined email through one of the other mail servers which 
is not blacklisted.

I think the main thing to do in these cases is to send a note to 
administrators of the blacklists, asking for our sender hostname or IP 
to be removed from their blacklist.  I can't recall if any of their 
usual confirmation steps would require any kind of tech access to our 
DNS or mail server... but I don't think so.  I would think that as a 
user of trilug.org, you could put in such a request.  Just be polite and 
describe well the problem you're seeing.
