Not true for mailing lists. You'd would be taken off the list. You would complain and re-subscribe. You would be taken off the list. You would complain and re-subscribe. You would be... In today's world when the sender is often a machine you cannot expect the machine to sort out the problem OR make it's owner aware there is a problem.
The trouble with blacklists is that a lot of them are open to the (muppet) public to add "spammers" and the (muppet) public often adds legitimate senders.
There's also a problem when a company uses the same mail server/email address to send unsolicited emails (that some would see as spam) and legitimate emails to registered customers. Customers end up losing emails or receiving them marked as spam.
Many customers sign up to a site and don't tick the "I don't want a newsletter" box. When they get the newsletter they promptly run off to the nearest blacklist database and report the sender.
