You're running a mailing list with a web signup form that doesn't even use a captcha to filter out bots. That's going to result in a bad reputation for your mail server. At the bare minimum you need to put some barriers between pressing Subscribe and sending out an email. I've run mailing lists for decades without trouble, but the barrier to making my mail server send an email to someone has more friction, and therefore can't be abused quite so easily.
