   I've spent quite a bit of my career in information security. Problem is, alot   
   of them use SMTP services that have been maliciously taken over and used to   
   spend phishing and spam campaigns. The community tends to blacklist them and   
   work with the owners to clean their servers and lock them down.   
      
   Many of these servers are used for legitimate business and can impact other   
   people. So, alot of ISP's don't block them for that reason.   
      
   I host my own mail server, so I subscribe to black hole lists. They keep   
   updated listings of malicious services and remove them when clean. If my server   
   receives an email from it, I never get it.   
      
   At my work, whenever I verify a spam campaign is hitting our employees, I send   
   the email to our mail admins and they create filters.   
      
   That way, the emails are caught by content and then blocked. Then, you're not   
   blocking legitimate emails.
