Erm.  No.

Note that MAPS is *NOT* blocking a single piece of e-mail itself.  None. Zip. Zero.

All they are doing is publishing information regarding their opinion of a given host's
mail policies.  As such, they're not interfering with anything, but merely answering
queries.

Meanwhile, the site that's actually rejecting your mail has made that decision *itself*,
that it doesn't want to receive mail from you, possibly with MAPS as one component
of the information used to make said decision.

To have a chance of winning this argument, you'll have to prove that the receiving
system is legally *obligated* to accept every piece of mail that you might happen to
want to send.
