I ran the Dumaru removal tool and it didn't find it running on the server and when I 
ran netstat for listening ports 10000 wasn't in the list. BTW, I scheduled a restest 
and it came back as inactive and removed me from their list. The only thing I did was 
to block 10000 to and from the server at the router.

>I was listed by dnsbl.

DNSBL stands for DNS BlackList.  It is a term used to replace RBL (which 
many people still use, but should not because it is trademarked by 
MAPS).  There are hundreds of DNSBLs (see 
http://www.declude.com/junkmail/support/ip4r.htm ).  What we need to know 
is which one listed you (SPAMCOP, DSBL, etc.).

>The port was open in both directions.

That is not good.  Your firewall should block all incoming traffic to all 
ports on the mailserver except those that are needed.

>I have applied an inbound and outbound block for all ip's on that port to 
>my email server.

That is a good start -- if your mailserver is indeed infected, it should 
help ensure that the people that control the virus cannot access your server.

Ah, that's SORBS-WEB that you are listed in.

The problem isn't that there is an open port.  For example, IMail has port 
25 open.  If you did not want people accessing the mailserver, you could 
just close port 25 on your firewall -- but IMail would still run.  In this 
case, the virus presumably has port 10000 open, in which case you would 
need to disable the virus in order for it to no longer listen on port 10000.

SORBS is pretty reliable, so I would run AV software to see if the server 
is infected, and if so, remove it.
