As mentioned by Hans-Martin, you can pay them to be whitelisted, which means that you will no longer appear in level 2 or 3 according to http://www.whitelisted.org/. So if you have sent so much bad mail you end up in their level 2 or 3, you can just pay them and then you can keep sending all the spam you want without a care in the world.

Not really. You would still be in level 1 if you were sending spam, so paying for whitelisting wouldn't help.

If you're in level 2 & 3, but not level 1, it basically means that you've made a bad choice of hosting/service provider. You've probably bought a cheap VM from a company that doesn't care that their VMs are used a lot by spammers. So, you can pay the whitelisting fee to get around that (an alternative would be to move to a decent hosting company that cares about abuse, so isn't in L2/L3)

I wouldn't block outright based on just an L2/L3 listing, but it does give a leg-up to the spam scoring.
