Actually, Manitu, also known as NIXSpam, is quite a good list. I've been using only this one and Spamhaus for years. Very good FP:Spam ratio.

Simple fact in the second decade of the 21st century is "their server, their rules". If someone wants to block you they can and they will. If your outbound server is spamming me I'd block you too. I don't care how many other people might be using it. It's not difficult to prevent outgoing spam, be responsible or be blocked. My server, my rules.
As you've found out, twice now, it's highly effective and gets people's attention. As it's got your attention twice now, I'd suggest you either get used to it or move your outbound mail to a clean host. It's been going on long enough now that it's pretty obvious hostmonster don't care (if it's on my radar, it must have caught their attention - after all, it's their servers). They are happy to keep taking your money.
And here's two thoughts that just struck me: first, they have no way to apply to be whitelisted.
And second, NIXSpam is a free service, right? Um, as someone said recently, you get what you pay for.
