Huh?  Concrete, real example:  I send a message to an IETF mailing list.
A list subscriber's ISP rejects the forwarded message.  IETF's mailman
drops the subscriber, because this has been happened multiple times.
I can't notify the subscriber, because their ISP also rejects my email.
My ISP is irrelevant to the scenario, and the (now former) list subscriber
doesn't even know this has happened, or why.

Another real, concrete example: some (but not all) messages sent via my
employer were tossed because one of my employer's mail servers was
listed on a blacklist.  As an employee, I had no alternatives for sending
mail - company policy precluded the use of "webmail" alternatives via
company infrastructure.

Randy
