In my view the list is not aggresive enough. If you have repeated spam 
with URL's listed of dubious sites and they are still rejected then I 
think they are rather conservative.

But I think the point is that no URL in the message is recognized on the 
site.

Jay: How much time was there between the message and your verification?

I can image some entries have been on the blacklist for a while untill 
someone complains and they get transfered to another list.
