Nathan, you are what is commonly referred to as collateral damage in 
the spam wars.  Planet.nl is known for being spam-friendly, ie hosting 
spammers and 'spamvertised' websites.  Sonny and Aaron may be able to 
get you 'whitelisted' so your mail can be accepted, but until Planet.nl 
cleans up its act it's only going to get worse as planet.nl gets added 
to more blacklists.  Typical is 'spews.org' -
