They list spammers based on trend and feedback from their appliance users. Personally I find it very accurate and it hits out rubbish that other lists seem to inexplicably (£$£$£$) miss.

Totally agree - the owners of Barracuda appliances are unable to disable the 'emailreg.org' whitelist without calling support which, in my view, makes it a bypass or 'pay to spam barracuda owners' . That said, compared to their internal whitelist (which has some really interesting clients on it) emailreg.org is small fry. Barracuda - not white hat, not black hat, but kinda pinky grey hat.
