Good; fast; cheap:  Pick any two.  You can't have all 3.

You left pair.com (good, fast, fairly cheap but not dirt cheap) because 
you wanted an even cheaper hosting solution.  Well, now you know what 
happens when you go with a cheaper host - they aren't any good (most of 
your messages never get delivered) and they certainly aren't fast 
(limiting you to 300 messages per hour!).  The only real solution is to 
find a better host.  I strongly suggest you take Chris up on the offer 
for a better host solution.
