It would be nice if someone with contacts there could delist the netblock.
The thing about SPEWS is that it is anonymously run, and very purposely so. I have a client who was assigned (by AT&T) a netblock that had been polluted by "Gaven Stubberfield" when he was using it, and they had a devil of a time after they set up their outmxen on IPs in that block. My efforts to reach SPEWS came to naught, but eventually they updated the listing. I wish I could tell you more, but there are reasons why the SPEWS team remains anonymous - notably, the spurious lawsuits filed against a variety of antispammers by lawyers in Florida in an attempt to determine who was behind SPEWS. I don't blame them for remaining anonymous, and I only wish they were more reactive to updates. The upshot for me has been that I simply don't use SPEWS for anything but research.
