Mail admins usually treat non-MTA software that send email as highly 
potential sources of spam. In your case, a whitelisting arrangement 
would take care of the problem or whatever arrangement they may have.

Properly managed ISP's/domains will have a reachable contact at 
postmaster at ISP/domain.

The third party component set you mentioned...is it the original of 
indyproject.org too?

The Indy 9 component most probably got itself into blacklists because of 
the IntraWeb framework, which most probably uses Indy 9 for smtp, has 
inadequate measures against abuse and the Indy 9 component creates an 
easily identifiable header.

Whole server farms running proper MTA software will get blacklisted if 
they have abusable scripts or other stuff using them.
