What has Google search to do with email spam? These are independent channels. Help me find the relationship by which webspam would punish a site for email spam please. I know of a site banned like yours that wasn't using any forms to communicate and had no open holes and no databases that could be exploited but was using a java script to hide the contact email address. But can't see this either as a reason for an eternal, most unpleasant ban.

Anyway, let us know how the 301 solve your problems or not. Good luck!
