http://dsbl.org/faq-listed#notmine explains how you can remove your own 
IP in this situation.

Your IP was listed not because of an open relay but because it was 
running an open socks proxy at port 20742. This is usually indicative of 
the machine at your IP address being trojanned, usually as a result of a 
virus infection. Have you done a full reinstall since 17th August? If 
not, your machine may still be compromised.

Incidentally, your mail server is not actually secure - MDaemon has 
well-known vulnerabilities (see 
http://dsbl.org/relay-methods#SMTPrelaying and "Fake local source 
address") that can only be addressed by requiring authentication for 
*all* users, which you don't currently have turned on.
