Not even close to accurate. Where am I on that list?? Not to mention, where are the guys who run spamhaus? They're huge spammers, easily top 10 worldwide I would guess. They don't have to work around blacklists like the rest of us mailers.
Funny thing about lists like Rosko, they only count spammers who get termed from hosts. So guys who run their own datacenters, or have reliable hookups in places like HK (or Pakistan like myself). Not to mention mailers intelligent enough to have front companies incorporated in friendly nations that can't be traced to them.
I've been doing bulk mailing for damn near ten years, and I have been terminated from a host exactly once. Probably hundreds of billions of emails sent by me personally, and the way that list is set up, even if they knew everything about my business practices, I wouldn't qualify for their database. Yet some kid with a proxy mailer who gets termed from two $99/month servers over two months of mailing is in. Completely useless even if it were well intentioned, as opposed to the front for spammers that it is.
Note: While I am a bulk mailer who sends UCE, I have followed the can spam act to the letter since the day it was introduced. My business is completely legal, so you bitches out there with inferiority complexes because your 500k/day TGP only makes you $400 a month, don't waste your time crying to some LE agency about me.
