Problem with these lists is that often (just like spamhaus lists) innocent parties are usually attached to the list for associations they cannot help. It also becomes a way for competitors to fuck each other. In the end the lists end up being as shady as the service they are trying to stop...Wegcash is a clear example...
I ran a publicly traded email marketing firm years ago and I cannot count the number of times some asshole would sign up for some service and then report the newsletter, or worse the confirmation email to a spamlist. We had the proof and the bucks to fight it and, get damages sometimes , but a lot of people do not. that's why I stopped using email marketing as a medium and sold off that company. In the end good solid commerce got hurt because of it and that hurts all of us.
Blacklists are as crooked and sloppy about their verification process as the adware or spam is bad for the industry...and they end up making everybody pay.
I have no idea how Zango even works, but All I have to say is, Make sure that list is accurate! I attacked venomously, the people that falsely accused me, and I usually won. I got many written apologies to prove it.
We all need to think out this Zango thing fully before jumping to conclusions...
Just some words of wisdom...
