Quite a few have web space, so if you know the BL that is blocking, you might look and see if there are "remove" instructions/capability. Only other thing I can think of would be to register your domain(s) with abuse.net. Personally that is one of the first places I check domains against (if they have a "valid" abuse address) then I report first and block second or third.
