Any list that does get spam-blocked is not being "properly run" by definition, since preventing such an eventuality is one of the listowner's responsibilities.
I'm not sure I agree with that. It seems to me it's the user's responsibility to make sure that they're able to receive the content they want, whether it's a filtered mailing list, a blocked web site, interference with P2P or chat/gamer services, etc. If the list owner is running the list using any reasonably standard mailing list software, I'd say his/her responsibility ends there, and it's up to the user (in the case of a mailing list) to make sure that either it's removed from their personal filter, whitelisted by the site admin or ISP, or else finding another service provider or method of reading the list (web mail, web archive, etc.).
