I would suggest that they would not be RBLed as
1] this is a list that can be easily (I assume) opted out of.
2] They are sending to folks that use the service.
3] I see no effort below from the RBL team to try to correct
their issues before action to put them on the RBL.
I would suggest that the RBL team suggest that there be a "kinder" way
of folks opting into this "list" although I have seen much worse from
"legit" mailing lists programs (majordomo) and maintainers (egroups).
A "kinder" way that could be suggested would be to annouce the list as
an opt-in in some missive that NSI normally sends out such as domain
payment requests.
