That's irrelevant to what you said previously about block lists. They
may have had one complaint, but I would guess the mail logs showed
bounces or mail in the queue, or the spam carried the standard "this
isn't spam because" disclaimer that only spammers use. They probably
blocked you because they viewed you as a spam support service. I block
many domains and IPs with no complaints because my maillog shows
attempts to send mail to addresses that I know either only exist on
spammer lists, or were only used for whois and were harvested.
