This is unfortunately quite a common problem, that me and my customers are having too.
Just to make an example, spamcop is blocking Libero, which (although perhaps not so
good at fighting spam),
is a major Italian ISP, connecting maybe something like 20% of this country. Given
that the even bigger
Telecom is a lot worse and a lot more blacklisted, you can guess here the picture is
not that good!!!
I cannot write to many mailing lists any more (FreeBSD, for example; and I work on
this OS!); some of my customers
cannot contact their overseas partners and so on!
I really believe the blacklist practice has gone a lot further than it should have! I
personally have nothing against
public blacklists, but I think their adoption should be a personal choice, not
anything that is done ISP wide.
Just my 2 eurocents.
