Chris,

You (or your smtp server) may have been blackholed.  It's been a while
since I looked into it, but if you have been you will need to request
de-listing I believe.

The first time you get de-listed right away, but if any more spam
complaints come in, it takes longer and longer to get it resolved.

The issue I have seen is when windows boxes get a virus and turn into
spam-bots.  Once they start sending, it won't be long until the
blackhole system gets involved.
