I recently had a similar problem with emails generated from my Network Solutions account webpage being blocked by TimeWarner Roadrunner.  I contacted Network Solutions (NS) and they now seem to have got their IP address off the internal block list that RR was using.  In RR's case they apply a variety of blocking lists, some internal, some external, to incoming emails.  They also operate a Feedback Loop (http://security.rr.com/feedbackFAQ.htm)  with willing providers and this may be the way NS is no longer being blocked by RR.  You may be able to use this 'case' as an opening with GMail or HostGo to get your problems cleared up.  It took a couple of weeks and several attempts for NS to get the problem resolved for me.

FYI, here are the blocking lists RR uses:
  • Road Runner Internal Name-Based Block 
  • Road Runner Internal IP Address-Based Block
  • MAPS RBL-Plus - the IP address in question is listed on the MAPS RBL-Plus list, a third-party list that Road Runner uses to augment its own lists.
  • SpamHaus SBL - Similar to the MAPS RBL-Plus list, - the IP address in question is listed on the SpamHaus SBL,
Hope this helps.
Good luck!

Spamcop isn't our spam filter (I work in the NOC at cybermesa) - we actually
do not use them for anything at all.  Spamcop are a third party RBL which
many people running spam filters (spamassassin, etc) use to clear away much
of the chaff.  We use a third party spam filtering service called postini,
which I have personally found to be a marvelous service.  If you are
receiving bounces that have spamcop anywhere in the subject/body, they aren't
actually from us.  Postini rarely bounces mail - generally speaking, it
filters spam and suspect spam into a separate area where people can sift
through it themselves.

If you have any examples of bounces, please forward the entire message to me
as an attachment, or simply forward the headers from the message to me, and
I'll be happy to take a look.  If you don't feel comfortable with that, you
can send the same things to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and explain the issue,
referencing me as someone you've contacted about the issue.
