Chris -

It's not the "can't" group that would concern me, but the "won't"
group.  I have received responses regarding filtering (requests for
filtering, requests for greater granularity, requests for whitelists)
from two of the ISPs I use.  The typical response is "We don't
adjust our email filtering to suit individual customers."  This
is occasionally followed by something like "Well, maybe just this
once...." for one of them.  The others are harder to change than
typical bureaucratic procedures.

My best wishes to those trying to get the granularity from their
ISPs, but I wouldn't hold my breath.  Some are responsive.
Others are effectively monopolies and highly unresponsive.
