This isn't quite accurate as I understand it.

I was led to believe that the listing will expire within 48 hours of the
last reportED spam being sent, not within 48 hours of the last report.

For example, if a machine that was spewing merrily away is locked down 
on Monday morning at 10.00 am GMT, thus stopping the spewage, it'll age 
off the list by Wednesday morning 10.00 am GMT, even if someone waits 
until Tuesday night to report spam. The important part is that the spam 
being reported on Tuedsay night was still sent before the machine was 
locked down on Monday morning.
