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.
