Mark, I may be off base here, but I am almost positive that spews.org offers no way of communicating with people. There is no way to contact them.

I'm not defending them at all but they really should use something other then that kiddy farm newsgroup to communicate with. I really think that's half of their perception problem.

The short of it is that spews.org often lists a much bigger netblock than they need to, on the philosophy that users of their system prefer to not deal at all with an ISP that is receiving income by hosting a spammer. For similar reasons, even though it's a pretty darn big ISP through acquisitions, my ISP is listed in XBL and BLARS for a very small number of spammer infractions. I use OSSRC but give it a relatively low weight due to the likelihood of throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
