It doesn't surprise me that the IP made spam DNSBLs because a fair amount of spam does get through to the list.
I would characterize that as "a very small amount", but yes, a few spam messages do get through. Compared to most lists, and especially considering that many of the FreeBSD lists can be posted to without subscribing, I'd say they are extremely clean.
It's not obvious that messages come from the list (one of advantages of subject tagging with list prefixes) so it's easy for people to report that spam to places like spamcop without realizing that it's list traffic.
Don't think SORBS takes nominations, but who knows. The reason I had both the FreeBSD mailer IPs in my access list was because at some point in the past I had manually blocked the ranges those addresses were in for relaying Korean spam. Not the two FreeBSD addresses, just the ranges.
I think the list manager for this list is Mailman. It's easy to implement spamassassin checking in Mailman which would probably catch a large percentage of the spam that now gets through to the list.
The web page says the list owner is freebsd-questions-owner -at- freebsd.org. Or postmaster would probably be appropriate also.
