I think the main problem is that a fair percentage of spam doesn't rely on knowing your real e-mail address at all, but uses other methods to send to a list of "possible" or "likely" permutations.

It is my guess it is this and other clear examples of abuse that earns the sender inclusion on any blacklist applied by NTL assuming they have indeed started to block some unwanted traffic as some believe.
