I'm actually asking for feedback from those that use them and found incorrect
information leading to legit senders being caught and
have tried to get the information corrected, not so much from someone who's been
listed for their own bad acts and had to get
themselves off. Examples might be an IP listed for bad acts by a previous owner,
listings with no basis in fact (forged, spoofed,
etc.).
It would seem that the open relay lists would be easy enough to get cured by having
them restest that the relay is closed. I'm more
interested in spam listings than open relays.
If anyone has found such things and tried to get them fixed, which lists have been
easy to work with and what is the typical
mechanism and time required for corrections to get done.

That depends on a number of factors. A few spam databases never de-list
any IPs. None of the commonly used ones will remove an IP if the problem
that got them listed isn't fixed (you would be *amazed* at how many times
people request to be removed from a spam database without even saying that
the problem that got them listed is solved). Some of the commonly used
ones will not remove IPs without a lot of work (sometimes an impossible
amount). Others will de-list immediately, without even checking anything.
So it all depends on what spam database you are listed in.
