If we gave that impression, that was not the idea. If someone has that
feeling, my apologies.

Not only SPEWS has that problem :(

We currently only use rbl's based on spamtraps and I must say it stops
a great number of spammessages. That mostly its automated and no one
has to submit anything except spammers that use open-proxies, agents,
faulty mailservers, etc.

I know and its a shame :(

No, they're not and they shouldn't be listed there. Spamikaze is just
software so everyone can make there own personal rbl and Spamvrij.nl
is just a foundation that tries to make emailmarketing acceptable by
education of companies and marketiers. It also lists companies on
there website that send `spam', but also lists companies that have
changed there policy about emailmarketing..
