any filter relying on the SBL is now marking email with the url "paulgraham.com" as spam.

Impossible. The SBL lists only IP addresses; there is no content filtering at all.

Furthermore, there's a lot of FUD in this thread about Spamhaus listing people who don't emit spam. IF this is true, then Spamhaus would have an unacceptably high false positive rate, and we would be able to observe this. In reality, Spamhaus has the lowest FP rate in the industry. Occam's Razor suggests those who claim to have been wrongly blocked are mistaken about the reason for their listings (if they ever existed in the first place).
