I think that is probably due to your MTA running on a dynamic IP connection, which are blacklisted for abuse by spammers most of the times. How about you using a smarthost (probably your ISP's mail-server) to deliver your mails from your postfix. I'm using the similar way with Postfix running on my local mail server, relaying all outgoing mails via Google's SMTP servers.
