That third party doesn't "get to say" whether your mail gets delivered.
I did say "effectively".
The recipient of your message asks a third party for their opinion of you,
and then your recipient makes a decision on whether your mail gets
delivered/accepted or not.
Perhaps you need to re-examine your understanding of how DNSBLs actually
operate.
I understand them quite well. It's called dilution of responsibility. It's a
great mechanism for causing harm while escaping blame. The destination MTA
blames the RBL, the RBL blames the MTA, the end users get screwed.
