Nobody is blocking _you_. The spam services just provide a listing
that lets the recipients choose if they want to accept what you send
from questionable locations.

Many/most ISP's provide an upstream SMTP relay as part of the service.
If they do, configure it as your smart_host and it will fix the problem.
If they don't, find some other relay service. Sending authenticated
smtp though a free gmail account would work but they might check to see
if the From: address matches the account (haven't tested that). The
point is, that it will be easier to find a relay that someone trusts
than to get the rest of the world to trust your random IP address in a
block that anyone can get for $6/mo. Or, feel free to waste your time
trying to change the world, but don't expect a lot of sympathy for the
pain of beating your head on a wall, even if the wall doesn't belong there.
