About ten years ago we changed our ISP and got a new block of IPs to use. Our domain name stayed the same. The old ISP never cleaned out the contact information on the old block of IPS.
Apparently someone is now spamming through our old block of IPs. Anyone doing a whois on the old block would find our domain info. I've contacted the ISP and they've corrected the info on that block, but I'm wondering...
Would I have been in danger of being blacklisted?
No.
Very, very few blacklists work on domains instead of IPs. Those that do must be careful not to blacklist any innocent domains, as domains can *always* be forged by spammers.
Of course, there are some exceptions (for example, lists of spammer URLs often aren't checked), but those shouldn't apply. Anyone smart enough to find your contact info will know that it could be faked (or old, in this case).
