Whitelisting IPs tainted by others at level 2 & 3 is possible but it's not cheap per IP - is this the moneymaker for them?
It seems UCEPROTECTL3 may not be the most important blacklist but avoiding getting domain/IP flagged can be important in some situations. So then the next step is to identify a "blacklist free" ISP and switch...

I don't know how UCEPROTECT makes money, but I do know once you're on an RBL, it's pretty tough to get off it.
If you are considering switching to a new host... The two major adult hosts that I know of, would be willing to go the extra mile to talk to an RBL, at least when I've had the pleasure of working with them. They provide managed service, which comes with that perk. I could be wrong, but I also think they buy in block, so if someone were abusing on their network they would know immediately and be able to show proof to an RBL, that they dealt with the problem. I suppose they would just rotate you to a whole new IP if that were to happen, though, rather than deal with the RBL. It would be faster and cheaper to just give you a new IP. You can view them through the affiliate links on my website, but they are Vacares and MojoHost.
If you don't want to switch or it's something more critical than web or dedicated hosting, push it on your ISP and tell them to figure it out with a deadline.
