I'd qualify this. I have a number of clients who send out a modest number of confirmation emails and yet have managed to get blacklisted by various ISPs over the years.
It is factually correct that sending too many emails is not the issue. it's more to do with the content of the email, the sending patterns, the number of similar emails sent in a given time period to different users, how many users mark the messages as spam (even if they aren't). That said, I have found that there are definite deliverability issues with sending out even things like order confirmation emails and I love to offload the deliverability issues on business that specialize in deliverability.
