True, but Ipswitch is not blindly relying on using automated Spam traps as far as I understand it from their statement:

"...Ipswitch collects spam from a variety of sources including spam caught by our spam traps, spam forwarded by employees, partners and customers. The URLs are then compiled into a list which is verified for accuracy against the spam received. Once the verification is complete the URLs are added to the URL Domain Black List..."

Especially since they indicate they "verify" the accuracy. If that is the case how did snopes.com get on the list? Plus all the real opt-in newsletters that clearly have "real" unsubscribe links on them.

representative samples, it's well-nigh impossible to do anything about
that at the source.
