Both cases are problematic, but you're right that for multi-mode cases
those same problems come become more acute.

World domination, obviously.

No idea.  But I wouldn't worry too much about it: the sysadmins here
like to use those nasty blacklisting services, so it's quite possible
that your server got on one of those blacklists for some idiotic reason,
and then it'll take a while to get off of it.  But any/all servers get
there at some point (even GNU's mailing-list server), so the best for
you is to hope it'll pass.
