What is the Composite Blocking List, who owns it and how exactly do
they develop their data?

And how do they prevent email from being sent and/or received?

I'm asking because I'm thinking of suing them.

What problem are you having?

Turns out that I was banned from sending emails for two weeks and
never knew it. And only to certian mail servers. I just found out
about it when I tried to send you an email. And I just received an
email from a group member that is two weeks old (after my ISP did a
little investigation).

Problem is that the IP that was banned isn't my IP. I have a
permanent IP that I pay through the nose for. When I called my
provider, I was told that the IP has never changed and that they don't
understand it either.

I want revenge. :)

This is the place to figure out this stuff.

First of all, you're using your real e-mail address in newsgroups. That's
insane, especially since you need it to work for your business. But, all
sorts of nasty characters harvest email addresses from newsgroup messages,
and use them for wicked purposes.

Second, if I recall, your email address was plainly posted on your site,
right? That's another way for it to be harvested. There's a better way. Have
you ever clicked "contact us" at a commercial site, and end up at a page
where you type your message, and you never see their email address? Not sure
how it's done, but I know a newsgroup where you can probably find out.
