Yes, I've seen a similar problem.  I was actually the source for a bit
of spam (backscatter from attempted subscriptions, fortunately those
lists don't need to be open subscription so I just blocked them all
with action DISCARD).

However, in my case it was specific to my IP, I was able to go to
their website and enter my IP into a "I won't do it again" page, and
after about 48 hours, mail was flowing again.  YMMV.
