None of those are websites of spam databases. I think you're confusing
the base zone of a spam database (the piece of information that your
anti-spam software needs) with the website. That's like trying to go to
http://mail.example.com to reach the website for example.com. Sure, it
may work, but it isn't expected to.
You may want to check out
http://www.declude.com/junkmail/support/ip4r.htm which lists the
websites for the spam databases.
So, if the webaddress "spammers.v6net.org" was purchased by internet-guide.biz, or was hijacked, is it now able to harvest any
addresses that IMAIL is sending to it for review?
Spam database lookups look up IP addresses. So if a spam database dies
and someone picks up the domain, they could set up their DNS to mimick
the way the spam database worked, and get the IP addresses that were
sent to the spam database. All that would give them, though, is a giant
list of IPs that have sent E-mail. That doesn't provide someone with
much useful information.
