In the last couple of years Linode has become much better at keeping this kind of stuff out, but every provider gets an IP blacklisted at some point. Linode does go through its listed IPs and handle the delisting process, but as anyone who has dealt with blacklists can tell you, that process can take some time.

So no, it isn't typical to receive a blacklisted IP but it is indeed possible, if somewhat rare. You should check the IP before going and building out your email server or whatever - if it's listed, just create a new machine or request an IP swap.

There are hundreds of blacklists with varying agendas - which ones get to determine whether an IP is assignable or not? I don't think it is feasible to ensure that a customer never gets assigned an IP address that is on some sort of blacklist.
