Keith,
It sounds like someone harvested your address and sent you a
newsletter full of legitimate domains. Sending you that
newsletter through harvesting was spamming, but that does not
mean the domains in the newsletter are spammers. If someone
sends you a spam mentioning ebay, microsoft, amazon and aol,
does that mean ebay, microsoft, amazon and aol are spammers?
No, it doesn't.
In order to prevent false positives, we try not to list
domains with legitimate uses in SURBLs. In fact the
domains you mention from the newsletter are better
whitelist candidates than blacklist candidates. Since
they seem to have legitimate uses, we need to keep them
out of SURBLs.
