spam-filtering policy

Dear All, Since there's no 100% effective spam filtering mechanisms so far, is it 'effective' to block (every/some) domains/IPs and have the admin of those domains/IPs send an online application to whitelist the domains/IPs? If it is an effective policy, wouldn't this create more of a hassle for the admins of valid/innocent domains? If it isn't an effective policy, why does anyone use it? The reason why I'm asking is that my co-worker has been trying to send an e-mail to a customer whose ISP seems to be using such a spam-filtering policy. This ISP is blocking my company's domain, for some stupid reason. My company certainly doesn't spam. Since I'm ever-learning the ins-and-outs of mail server administration, I'm curious as to what everyone here thinks.
