>From the standpoint of pure technology, there is nothing wrong with
what you are doing now. The problem is, your contract with your
hosting company probably included a clause prohibiting mass mailing (to
avoid putting a strain on the hosting company's SMTP servers), and
that's why you were banned.

You can still use your scripts, but you need to find a hosting company
that allows mass mailing. You might want to ask them about it (and
tell them that your mailing list is opt-in) before you move your site
there.

Alternatively, you can use a third-party mass mailing service such as
RealMagnet.com.

Yet another alternative is to deploy your own SMTP server.

Whatever path you choose, it's going to be more expensive than your
current setup.
