Unfortunately, a similar philosophy seems to pervade the industry which 
prefers to ignore collateral damage in its war against spam, malware, 
etc.  I have had the experience -- several times and with several ISPs 
-- of having my emails bounced because the IP address was on some 
blacklist or for other reasons.

In one particularly annoying incident, a customer of mine in Perth, 
Australia asked an urgent technical question. Of course my replies to 
him bounced, as his questions became more and more panicky. Ultimately I 
phoned him.

The website of the blacklist that caught me explained its functions in 
an insulting, patronizing manner, and did not respond to entreaties from 
me or my ISP (who tried to be helpful). Ultimately the guy in Australia 
got *his* ISP to stop subscribing to the blacklist and we could 
communicate again!
