Are there?  Certainly.  Paying clients often ask for all manner of nonsensical 
things.  I don't know of any particular blacklists out there with email 
addresses, though.  Obviously, it wouldn't make much sense to block based on 
a full address for spam.  Individual sites can certainly do whatever, though.

Did you check to see if your mail is actually being accepted by the remote 
servers?  (Of course it can still be dropped or quarantined, though.)  Did 
you check to see if you're listed on any DNSBLs?
