Where I live (Algeria),
ISPs have two offerings:
pro and domestic.

If you take domestic,
your server will be listed in spamhaus PBL,
which is the list of servers not supposed to send mail
(sending from a "domestic" IP)

It is the ISP who declares an IP as such,
spamhaus uses that info to classify spam.

Best,
