MailChimp make their living by being above-board, and they stay off the perma-ban spam lists by not being spammy. It's a full-time job to run your own mail-out service, to cross all the Ts and dot all the Is. I recommend outsourcing this part -- it's genuinely difficult. Spammers won't necessarily take advantage of your mail-out or MailChimp, what will happen is that you will do something that is inadvertently perceived by all the varied spam filters out there as being spam, and then you will be blacklisted. It won't matter if you move servers then, because the mail will still come from your domain, and it's the domain that gets blacklisted. MailChimp (and other similar services) work hard to ensure that your messages get through. They do this not through any trickery, but by following the rules and restricting what kinds of messages you are able to send with their server. Remember, it's their livelihood (not just yours) that would be messed with, so they are strict.
