No, I can't see a thing. That site redirects me to their "Ban Page".
It appears that I am blacklisted also...

Anyway, http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/ip4r.ch?ip=82.35.154.175 shows
that you are on more than just 3 blacklists.

In that case you may have caused the listing yourself.

And at least one of those viruses opened up the old computer for
transmitting spam.

That means that you're doing the right thing and the DSBL listing should
not affect you.

All mail to [email protected] is archived. As I am banned, I cannot see
what http://whois.sc/82.35.154.175 has to say, but perhaps it links
to http://dsbl.org/listing?82.35.154.175. In that case those people
can get the full story there.

Hold on, ..., those fools ban Lynx, not me! With Mozilla I can
view http://whois.sc/82.35.154.175 just fine, and it indeed links
to http://dsbl.org/listing?82.35.154.175.

No effect whatsoever.

If your main concern is the effect of the DSBL listing on your web
server then you don't need any help, there should be no effect.
