Run your mail server and your Mailman instance according to best 
practices, and the world should notice.


If not, the next step might be to consider signing up for service 
with a company like Habeas or ReturnPath where they charge you money 
to certify the way you're running your mail server and with their 
certification you tend to get a higher deliverability rate.

These aren't the only players in this space, but they are two of the 
best known, and they're the only two who are "whitelisted" by default 
in current versions of SpamAssassin, which is a popular anti-spam 
tool that many sites install.
