"No technique is a complete solution to the spam problem, and each has trade-offs between incorrectly rejecting legitimate email (false positives) vs. not rejecting all spam (false negatives) – and the associated costs in time and effort."

Quote from Wikipedia page on antispam: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-spam_techniques

It has happened before that PDML subscribers found themselves using email providers whose domain or IP-range is considered to be a spam source. Sometimes the ISP is sloppy and allow spam servers to operate, but in most cases it's hapless users with poor antivirus protection that gets infected with malware that distribute spam. If a sufficient number of users with one ISP are afflicted, some spam filter may block all mail from that IP range. Most modern ISPs have spam filters on outgoing email as well, but it is harder to monitor properly than incoming email.

Most PDML e-mails haven't been coming through & I have to access them through the archives instead . Now they are belatedly coming through in dribs-and-drabs. Perhaps there is a leak in the Atlantic undersea cable?
