Community Power UserAs a former mail administrator I have never used UCEPROTECT as a blacklisting service. This will only affect you if you are running a SMTP server from the listed IP address AND the receiving server is checking UCEPROTECT.
Telus doesn't support/recommend using a home account for running servers of any kind. If you wish to have a mail server you should have a business account/service which presumeably won't be listed on UCEPROTECT.

Community Power UserAdditionally if enough people complain about messages that can get an ISP on a blacklist. Normally it's fairly trivial to be removed and an administrator just needs to contact the blacklisting service.
I'm on a Telus business account and my IP is being included in this list for no good reason, as well. This listing is at the ASN level, so it's Telus-wide. I run an email server (as I should be able to), and I follow every good practice for high-security and anti-spam that there is to follow, and yet my digital reputation is being tarnished because Telus has not dealt with this. Telus just needs to get their crap together.

It's unlikely Telus will do anything about this. The numbers reported are insignicant considering the total mail users Telus has.
I've used many RBL lists but had never heard of UCEPROTECT. I have used Spamcop, Spamhaus and Barracuda.
