No problems here with the two lists I run, although I'm not a stranger
to problems with blocklists or list users inadvertently reporting list
messages as spam.

This is almost certainly not going to have anything to do with
Mailman, but more to do with the reputation of the IP address of your
virtual server at Linode or IP netblock ("neighborhood") you are
sending from.

If you Google around for the error you reported, you should be able to
find a form to request de-listing. Perhaps they will while-list your
server's IP address even if they are not thrilled with the overall
experience with emails from Linode address space.
