The companies that make phone calls are not nearly as untrackable as spammers, which is why the DNCL is so succesful. Spammers usually work under the radar.

If it's a matter of quering a database to check if the e-mail is in the list, it will provide spammers a database to check against to ensure the e-mail address they have is valid.
