Do not just blindly ask on this list. http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/ip4r.ch?ip=64.221.192.56 shows you are listed in a few well respected lists. You need to go to each link and read the information to find out why and how to correct. http://www.dnsreport.com/tools/dnsreport.ch?domain=nbm.org shows you have a few DNS issues, but nothing major. However, it also shows that your server is not configured to receive e-mail to postmaster@serveripaddress as required by RFC, and which is used by some blacklist for notifications and confirmations. DBL in fact is one of these, and if you would bother to look up why DSBL has you list, you will see they have tried to contact you at that address, but since your server does not accept it...

ORDB tells me we are not an open relay. I have reverse DNS set up. All our e-mail goes through nbm.org. What else can I do? Change our IP address?
