My server at my current reseller host gets the mail IP black listed almost once a month now days. I have been with them for years and would rate them as no more than barely acceptable anymore. Since I have not looked into hosting in years I am not sure what my expectations of how often the mail IP gets listed should be. I asked if I could be moved to a new server and they said no they do not do that. I would appreciate input on what others feel is acceptable. I understand in a shared hosting situation this happens sometimes. I just feel this is well beyond what it should be.

It really depends on the amount of mitigation they do to block outgoing spam. If they are keeping a close eye on the mail logs and acting quickly on any abuse tickets it should lower it down. If they aren't...ask them to move you. If they can't/won't...there are alternatives.

If you can afford it, ask them for a dedicated IP for your hosting.

Shared IP's you will get this alot, and you cant realy do much about it. Alot of resellers now offer free dedicated IP's with there packages...

One thing that can really help this situation is a good outbound mail filter (SpamExperts, etc.). Be sure to ask potential providers about what type of outbound filtering is offered, if any.
