Your server's IP address does seem to be blacklisted by dnsbl.njabl.org:

    % dig 126.93.105.67.dnsbl.njabl.org.
    
    ;; ANSWER SECTION:
    126.93.105.67.dnsbl.njabl.org.  2H IN A  127.0.0.2

<http://relays.osirusoft.com/cgi-bin/rbcheck.cgi> also reports you as
blacklisted by dnsbl.njabl.org (and also by xbl.selwerd.cx).

BTW, just as an aside, <http://relays.osirusoft.com/cgi-bin/rbcheck.cgi>
seems to be moderately busy these days.  ;^) It says:

Since you're blacklisted on dnsbl.njabl.org, try <http://njabl.org/> for
that kind of info. Never having had any dealings with them, I have no idea
how responsibly that particular list is run. Anecdotes, anyone?

That should do it. The njabl.org people may (should, if they're at all
responsible) be able to tell you what criteria resulted in your listing.
