Reported spam, ISP suspended account

[TheMadCow 0]

Since I switched over to the mailhost beta, I'm now finding that my hosting company has deactivated my account. Seems to be connected, but I'm not technical enough to verify this. I'm including the email in question. It is indeed a reported spam that I submitted, but I'm not clear why it's getting my account slammed.

Thanks for the understanding if this isn't related and I'm posting in the wrong place.

...I'm now finding that my hosting company has deactivated my account. Seems to be connected, but I'm not technical enough to verify this. I'm including the email in question. It is indeed a reported spam that I submitted, but I'm not clear why it's getting my account slammed.

Did you also bounce it back to the supposed sender? If the forged address was a real person, they may have reported you as a spammer, assuming your bounce was just a sneaky way to send a spam.

Do you have a challenge-response filtering service (no mail gets delivered until the sender replies to an email confirming identity)? I don't think you would get the entire email back like this, but they also get reported as spam a lot.
