 * Hi, we’re getting an error on every website on our hosting account. According
   to your own website this is because Mailchimp has blacklisted our IP address.
 * We don’t spam or abuse email so i’m not sure why it’s happening but before I 
   go shouting at our hosts I wondered if you could offer any advice as to why this
   might happen?
 * thanks very much

 * Hello,
 * if you are on a shared hosting account (which means on the same server there 
   would be thousands of other websites) if any one website does spam, the server
   IP is blocked. This would affect every single website hosted on that server.
