My email is spammy?

Good day, my www.unsungfilms.com site receives a yellow sign, because it is allegedly "promoted through spammy email", which I cannot understand. It is a WordPress-based website about cinema without any email promotion. The only email address appearing on the site is editor@unsungfilms.com which receives minimal traffic as it is intended only for contributors (not readers). The site is full of valuable content, very straightforward, no popups, no irrelevant or hidden advertising, and its very embarassing to hear readers say that they are concerned about our "potential suspicious behaviour". Can anyone tell me how to make good this unpleasant situation? Thanks

Re: My email is spammy?

Thanks Peacekeeper. I read the articles you suggested and made some checks (WP version, search for suspicious code etc), and contacted SiteAdvisor, and my site is now Green.

By the way: After reading those articles, I realised that the threats we (web owners and admins) are faced with are much more that one would think. I think, an article on web security intended for the average user, would be more than useful.

Thanks again

John
