Hey Andrew, This is my guess. It looks like you have no reverse DNS for your MX. As such, they may be disconnectiong you as a result. See here: http://www.dnsreport.com/tools/dnsreport.ch?domain=geonetric.com. You may want to ask them if they do a PTR lookup on sending MX records. Or they may indeed mave you blacklisted.
You are also blacklisted ona couple of lists, but they are the draconia of sorts and one is there becase it look slike you use a residential IP from chart.net to do your e-mail. Let me know if I am off base or if I am using the wrong domain.
