There is no such thing as "the black list". There are hundreds of them (even my university has its own). However, most will generate an error message that is comprehensible, such as: "500 5.7.1 IP address [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] FormMail Spam Source BLOCKED: Contact Postmaster" "500 5.7.1 IP address [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] BLOCKED: See http://www.monkeys.com/anti-spam/filtering/proxies.html"; "500 5.7.1 IP address [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] E-mail refused. Reason 1. See http://www.dto.tudelft.nl/blacklist.htm So since there is no complete list, there is quite little you can do except make sure that whenever you hear something make sure you get the error message which will tell you which list blocked you. The only other option is to install your own email server and make it check every blacklist you can find and start sending yourself email.
