To be clear: because the legitimate mailserver with a proper non-generic
reverse was in a block with other generic reverses, they blacklisted you?

That's egregiously harsh. 

SORBS was blocking a customer for a generic reverse entry, I gave them a legit
looking reverse (that fwds properly too), solved, if a bit irritating. To
require the whole BLOCK be totally legit is too much.
