As former Email Principal at major provider, sure, they run into blacklisting problems.

However, most of time, it's not that providers are blacklisting because "Ha ha ha, screw the little guy" but more "Yea, they are hosting on IP blocks with terrible reputation and spammers are absolute liars. I refuse to trust whatever they say, period."

If you have your own /24 or greater, you can become email provider. It's also just such a low margin business, it's not worth small businesses disrupting it.

and even as a provider, some are more aggressive than others. free.fr comes to mind
