Speaking of which: Are you even sure they are using the blacklist? I
didn't read any relevant mail-headers suggesting that - and in your
first mail you just wrote: "I have found out that LO is using an IP
address that has been black listed at "apews.org".

So if you just queried some website for the IP address, then chances
are that your ISP isn't using that blacklist at all. (As otherwise it
would be strange to receive most of the mails and only have some
bounce).

So my guess is that these bounces were just triggered by other rules
than the apews blacklist.

No. And I even question that there ever has been any kind of abuse of
that address range. They block /all/ of 5.* - so that is just stupid
in itself (that is more than 16 million adresses) - and the list
contains more of those huge network-blocks. That block is assigned to
RIPE that in turn hands out ip-addresses to other parties. So it is
impossible for any owner of an IP-address from that range to clear the
whole range of spamming hosts, as that area doesn't belong to one
provider/company.
The blacklist contains nearly half of all IP-adresses, So
false-positive matches are taken into account and are a bit part of
it, and that's the reason why no ISP should use it for its customers.
