Talk to your ISP's (Verizon's) tech support and tell them to fix the problem. That's their job. There should never be any reason to blacklist an entire domain, especially a large one, unless it is truly a rogue domain. If you are a business customer, give them even more grief and tell them how their failure to immediately deal with blacklisting is damaging your business.
But one solution is to have an alternative e-mail address (or more) at an alternative domain, so that if the domain you are sending from has been blacklisted, you can get messages out from the alternative address. The alternative address doesn't have to cost -- gmail is free. I think the problem is that there is automation that blacklists an entire domain if too many messages from it are auto-detected as spam. The false positive consequences are large. However, maybe it's a way of getting Verizon's attention about a problem they should have detected and fixed themselves.
