    3 weeks ago my data center reported we are sending spam
    and warned to suspend my dedicated server.I don`t know
    about server managing but my server manager said he fixed
    the problem. there are only 2 sites on my server and not me nor
    server manager don`t send spam and I don`t know what is the
    source of the spams.

    after that I rarely receive emails and also rarely can
    send emails. it seems mail servers blocks any email send to
    my server and don`t let me to send email also.how I can fix this
    problem

    You're IP addresses have probably been added to some anti-spam lists that are used by many email servers to filter out SPAM messages. You will need to contact each of these lists individually and ask them to remove you from their list. Some lists drop you automatically after a period of no spam, some make it easy to be de-listed, and some are notoriously difficult to get a listing removed. You have a struggle ahead of you, but it's the only thing you can do, and many of them ask for proof that the cause of the spam being sent has been fixed.

    Just do a google on "anti-spam list" any you should find a number of links that will show you what anti-spam lists your IP is listed at. Sometimes a listing with one list will make you appear on other by default so start with the major ones first such as Spamhaus.

    I'm surprised your host is still hosting you. Most hosts would close your account without notice if you caused any of their IPs to be listed with a major anti-spam list.

    just one time their system reported us automatically .in the email it said we have 3 days for fixing this problem ...if not...they will suspend my server.my server manager did succeed to fix it apparently.after that we did not received the abuse email again.but from the time...not only I can`t receive email but also cant send anything.

    I did check on 2 major sites www.spamcop.net
    http://www.spamhaus.org/lookup.lasso
    no one of the IP`S that data center delivered me are not on their list ...
    I wonder why my site has been blocked constantly ?
    what do you think ?

    If you blacklisted you can still receive mail without any troubles.
    There are lot of things that can cause blacklisting. If you want i'm will give you my mail address (PM) and you will send an email to me. Than i'm can trace you email back and tell you where is problem.
