>ip reputation

Get this. I owened a /23 for 7 years (still own it today) and kept the mail server ip on a /27 just for the mail server on a /24 that was not used for anything production (firewalled and maybe 3 ip's responded on port 443). My mails were banned for bad reputation. The provider which hosted my /23 was well known for responding to abuse, even falsely flagging my account as abusive in the early days for simply _sending_ valid smtp mails.

IP reputation turned out to mean, if they never saw your IP, you were in the banned bucket. How do you even fight against that
