I'm in the same situation. Recently I sent support mail to a friend in
need and was rejected saying my mail server was on the international
blacklist. I did some research and found it wasn't my mail server, but
the IP, which reverses to Comcast, which is listed on the MAPS (Mail
Abuse Prevention System)

After some consultation with the admins at the destination that mail was
intended, they informed me that this is the case with many other Comcast
nodes, and that Comcast will not reply to them with an answer, therefore
they are going to continue the blacklisting indefinitely.

Personally, I don't blame their actions. I think they are providing a
valuable service to the internet, and they get their share of legal
abuse for providing that service.
