It´s a general problem of all shared mail servers.
Even if YOU are using that system for normal email communication, it is not 
granted that this problem will not happen.
Why? Because as soon as one of the other users of that mail system uses the 
system  to send spams or even just bulk email
to some of the big providers like gmail, aol or others, it could happen / it 
will happen that the smtp server gets a bad reputation.

I think you're right. The same thing happened on my shared server, hosted on JaguarPC, and I think it can happen anywhere. Whether the receiving server rejects the email depends on their spam settings, and some will blacklist whole blocks of IP numbers. One of my accounts sent an email with about 8 recipients, and five were rejected for "bad reputation" even though the email itself was short and generic.

The big name ISPs get more clearance. If I send through Comcast it goes though, and I'm told that all the large providers are accepted the same way. That's why Gmail is probably a safe bet if you can accept the scanning they do (you can turn off targeted ads in preferences though.)
