My client's emails are blacklisted because his account is on a shared server which gets blacklisted from time to time. The hoster wants him to move to an expensive dedicated server.
What could I do besides moving to a new dedicated server with my own IP.
My thought to solve this is:
Moving to Google Apps email hosting to get rid of spam but the domain A records are still pointing to the blacklisted server although the MX entries are pointing to Google's infrastructure. Would this work?
Any help is much appreciated.

email is a completely different service to http. It is perfectly normal to have one pointed at one provider and the other at another.
mx records are used when receiving mail, your blacklisting is a problem when sending mail. You need to send mail using a different server and in this case google should be acceptable.
