Actually, they do block messages based upon IP address when the IP
address is dynamic.  Even if the address is static, they may block
mail if you don't have reverse DNS available.  They will also block
the IPs of MTAs from which they receive some sufficient quantity of
spam.

Of course, their Sender FAQ will answer most questions.
