@obs:
I'll assume you're sending via a locally installed mail server, in that case check /var/log/mail.log for errors.
Yes, I have installed EXIM4 and I got the below messages at /var/log/mail.log:

They are very trigger happy to block anybody they consider sending spam. Not sure of how their spam rules are setup, but I wouldn't put it past users saying your mail was junk got you easily added to the list.
You can fill out the application they have for abuse issues and try to get off the list. The application assumes there was something wrong with your website that caused spam and assumes that you needed to fix something. Which is annoying when it could be the users simply not wanting your mail anymore and saying its spam (even though they registered to get the mail).
