I had the similar problem when sending to the bogofilter list.
My IP address was in a block of addreses that  transiently appeared on the 
SpamCop list. This (I think) was being used by aotto.com (or associated 
ISP) for filtering.
I must say I am unimpressed by blacklisting, it affects too many innocent 
bystanders.
