I doubt that many sites block by using UCEPROTECH-3 alone, but you 
can
use www.whitelisted.org to be excluded from it.

I'm not going to pay those scum to get my IP whitelisted, that's 
just
blackmail.  How does paying some extortionate third party make my
email problems go away?

Like Jim said, it's very unlikely that a UCEPROTECT listing would be 
the
cause of any delivery problems. Do you have some evidence that your
target site (charter.net?) is using UCEPROTECT for blocking?

If so, please share that evidence. If not, assume your listing has
nothing to do with your problem. It surely does not.

I'm not sure honestly, and charter isn't saying.

You are missing the point here.

NO ONE running a serious mailserver will reject mail based on a 
UCEPROTECT level 3 listing. It is a waste of your energy to focus on 
that listing.

Your problem is Linode. They have had a steady stream of spamming 
custromers that they have failed to deal with for extended periods. Some 
mail systems have responded by rejecting all mail from all machines on 
Linode networks.

I was on a chat with
a 1st level support guy for over an hour, and each time he came with
an RBL to check, or some other setting, I was able ot show that my
IP/hostname was clean, without any entries.  The only entry I could
find was in the UCEPROTECT-3 list, which blocks entire chunks.

Which means nothing. The existence of a DNSBL does not imply in any way 
that it is used by anyone anywhere to block mail.

UCEPROTECT is and always has been an unserious operation with a little 
bit of extortion mixed in. They are not the reason your mail is being 
shunned.
