The Spamhaus PBL might very well list you.

76.185.38.113 is listed in the PBL

Mailservers using this blocklist would probably block mail from you.
Obtaining a static IP is easily done so I don't know why someone would
want to risk using a dynamic IP. In any case, a very large percentage
of SPAM originates from dynamic IPs, which is why I routinely block
them.
