I appreciate that it's a pain, but you're black listed and that's a Bad Thing. Regardless of how many websites are affected by it, it's never good to be blacklisted. You should really get your network guys to investigate it, and if it's a false alarm then it should be a simple matter of just contacting the appropriate association and getting them to remove the blacklisting.
At one place I worked we managed to get ourselves blacklisted somehow and that culminated in us being blocked by Google for a couple of days. I'd wholeheartedly recommend nipping this in the bud before it escalates to that point.
