I went to dsbl.org and put in my IP address to be removed, but it said that
I am not listed. Tried it 2-3 times to be sure I was putting the number in
correctly.

I thought someone had said I was listed at dsbl.org. Was that right or was
it just that I might get listed?

Sorry, my mistake.

That does it.  :)

I would suggest going to http://www.dsbl.org and letting them know that you 
are no longer an open relay.

>Should I disable the VRFY command and AUTH reporting?

I would recommend disabling the VRFY, but not the AUTH.  Disabling the VRFY 
will make it slightly more difficult for spammers to harvest addresses off 
your mailserver.  If you disable SMTP AUTH reporting, though, you may not 
be able to relay mail if you use SMTP AUTH (which isn't an issue if you are 
sending mail from the one IP you entered in "Relay for Addresses", but it 
would be an issue if you tried relaying mail from another location).
