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.
That's what I am referring to, too. But people don't get randomly added to the spam databases. They get added for a reason (aka "bad act"). The reason may be trivial (one user reporting that an E-mail was spam, even though it wasn't), or it may not be (you're running an open relay).
Examples might be an IP listed for bad acts by a previous owner, listings with no basis in fact (forged, spoofed,
etc.).
The same applies -- it all depends on many factors.
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.
There are literally hundreds of spam databases, so it sounds like you are attacking this from the wrong angle. What is it specifically you are looking for? Are you trying to get more information on the various spam databases? Are you listed in many of them, and trying to get removed from the ones that will be quickest/easiest to be removed from? You may want to check http://www.declude.com/junkmail/support/ip4r.htm which has some information when people have troubles getting removed from spam databases.
