Are you sure it was based on IP address? This domain was used to host questionable links a few years ago, including suspicious antivirus software:

You're right about the prior activity for the domain, but both Blue Coat and McAfee complained based on the IP address we're using now (i.e., the EC2 address).

But my purpose in posting this is to ask: what other filtering lists are out there?

Getting ourselves off is easy now, since we are a legitimate site; the hard part is figuring out who else may be blocking us.
