Your email is not authorized to enter and reside on a recipient's mail server 
until and
unless the recipient's mail server says it is. Mail servers are entitled to 
refuse reception
of your email using whatever decision process they choose. This includes the 
method of
assigning a "this source is likely a spammer" semantic to responses received 
from lookups
on certain externally maintained lists.
