Ed, the Kennehoochee club has the same problems with
Comcast accounts.  We use a separate mailing for
newsletters and such for the Comcast account.
Good luck with the complaining.  I deal with this kind
of thing on a daily basis.  
The Blacklist (RBLs) providers only provide the list
on the web.  They claim they are immune because the
anti-spam software that whatever ISP uses doesn't have
to reference their list.  It's that whole "free
speech" kind of thing.  In a corporate environment,
like ours, it's a real pain.  We have 4 internet IP
addresses and two of them are listed on an RBL.  We've
requested de-listing for over a month now but have
pretty much been ignored.  The reason they claim they
listed us is not something that could happen here. 
All we can do is request our clients "Whitelist" our
domain and IP addresses on an individual basis.
We use an entirely different type of anti-spam system
here that doesn't rely on internet RBLs (they are bad)
and we catch well over 90% of all inbound spam.  It's
not cheap, but it works.
Good  luck, 73, Tad, WF4W
