I have just checked and the entry in Spamhaus has indeed been removed.

You sound as if you disagree with these spam rejection defensive measures
or at least have reservations about them. Over 60% of all e-mails received
per month by our servers are spam (that is around 100,000 spam) and the
problem is getting worst. Combating the increasing tide of spam
aggressively is our way of keeping the problem manageable. This includes
the sensible use of spam blacklists, SMTP rules and secondary defenses
such as SpamAssassin.

In fact, I know of at least one major ISP (eg. AOL UK) who are blocking
all incoming SMTP IP addresses unless they are recognised official ISP
e-mail servers or individually added to their "whitelist".
