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.)
