Let's go through this again - we did it months ago. My site is hosted by hostmonster, which also operates as bluehost. They are a*large* provider, with hundreds of thousands of domains, and the email from all of them go through their (few) email servers. Therefore, when 100 or so of them running WinBlows get their hosts infected, and they send out spam, and the hosting provider hasn't caught them yet, hundreds of thousands of the rest of us get hit with the same block.
Thats a BS excuse. gmail has MILLIONS more users than bluehost, yet doesn't seem to ever be used to relay spam. Why? they are proactive rather than reactive. Bluehost is a cutrate provider who only reacts when forced, or this wouldn't keep recurring over and over again.
