You may be being blacklisted as part of a block, rather than as a result of traffic originating from your server. At one point last year, my server was blacklisted by Gmail, AT&T, and Microsoft. I eventually found a tool - can't remember where it was, sorry - that displayed spam complaints for individual IPs and blocks. My IPs were all green, with no current complaints, but they were squarely in the middle of a block full of active spam sources. My hosting provider at the time declined to take any action against their spamming customers, allocate me new IPs in a non-spammy block or, eventually, even to respond to my support tickets. In the end, I changed providers, which resolved the problem. Try searching Google for "ip reputation" or "netblock reputation" and see if you can find a tool that shows the reputation of your server and its immediate neighbors. This may tell you whether the problem is really with your server, or with the neighborhood it lives in.
