OK, so I am posting anonymously too because basically my advice is to cheat your boss (I don't think _my_ boss would appreciate ;--).

How technically knowledgeable is your boss? Could you just not send the emails to ISPs that have banned you, but generate the returns to the postmaster anyway? Send just 1/10th, or 1/100th of the mails you are supposed to send (sendmail is Open Source after all, youre just a patch and a recompile away from a non-spamming version of the tool, I am sure you could find plenty of people who would do this for you).

Finally: do you really want to keep a job at a company that seems on its way to being in real trouble with the law? How long do you think this company will be in business for? And if they don't listen to you, maybe the authorities will?
