Blacklisted! A cautionary tale

I think you are way off base. He has paid hosting and hasn't indicated that he's using software which submits from his server's IP.

Zio - contact your host and inform them that the IP you are on is blacklisted by SORBS and see if they can handle the issue for you. Also, if I use the this link, with your domain in it, http://whois.domaintools.com/toxsite.com it shows that your server's IP is blacklisted. But if I got to http://whois.domaintools.com and then enter your domain, it says Blacklist Status: Clear - weird, eh? Unless you are sending an inordinate amount of emails, I'm not convinced that it has anything to do with you or your activities. That IP may have been banned before you even started hosting on that server. (It happened to me with Spamhaus and the host got it fixed for me.)

Also, I don't see how being on that blacklist would affect whether or not link lists accept your sites. Your server's IP being blacklisted for SPAM has nothing to do with your free sites.
