Spam issues

I run a content site on a shared hosting environment. Time and again, most of my registration emails are being returned saying my server is blocked.

My issue is I send only one mail when a user registers on my site for verification purposes. Then I occasionally send newsletters and approval/rejection emails about the content from users. But my mails are returned as spam. I never send any unsolicited emails.

I contacted the spam blocking people and they said the server owner should conact them. The hosting company is not doing it and they only change the ip address of the server again and again. This is really irritating. Is there any way/agency where I can register my site/domain as "spam-safe"?

Seems like your hosting company had some spammers once and they got blacklisted, check out this page

You should move out and look for another host.

I would contact your host first. We host with Verio, I think the largest, and they periodically have problems also. AT&T blocked all of our emails. We contacted Verio and they got it cleared up with AT&T. It can happen to any host as far as I know. Any other comments or experiences?

This is actually happening for the third time. First I contacted the anti-spam guys. They informed me to contact them thru the hosting company. When I contacted them, every time these buggers just do an IP renewal to get a new IP. They are not trying to find a permanent solution. I have paid for 1 more year's hosting.

I am not even worried about the money. But the biggest worry is maintaining the SERP rankings.
