The individual IPs may not all have too bad reputation but you don't control who shares the block with you and don't have any control over new neighbors - and that is enough for some agressive organizations (Microsoft) to block you.

Find out the IP address of the machine hosting the domain, then do a reverse lookup on that IP address. It might show the last domain hosted on that IP address.
Using dig:
$>dig yourdomain.tld
1.2.3.4
$>dig -x 1.2.3.4
