No, not really.  The only way to get off the shitlists is to convince
Verio to get rid of the spammers and close the open relays, which
they don't seem inclined to do.  Vist the news.net-abuse.email
newsgroup and search for "verio" for more information.

A few complaints to abuse@verio.com, making sure to point out that
you're a paying customer might have some effect.  Taking your money
elsewhere, and letting them know why, would have an even bigger
effect.

If I didn't have a well-established web page on Best, I would have
been long gone by now.
