I think it's an area deserving of public discussion. There are numerous "open relay" lists around, from folks genuinely trying to be helpful to spammers sharing info, so removal from the archives is not really going to do much for the issue one way or another. However, the question is begged: "Should information on potential network abuse points be shared and public or not?"
Yes. View it the same as Bugtraq. If you find a problem, let the owner know and give them ample time to respond and fix it. If it is not quickly taken care of, add them to the list. That is the only way you will ever get things done. If telling them privately doesn't work, telling the world and embarrasing them in front of peers might. So the spammers get the list... it might get the problem fixed quicker. .015 Sam
