They seem to be an attempt to clone spews. 99.99% of the website was
directly copied from spews.org

"12/28/06 APEWS was foundet by some People thinking SPEWS is dead but
their work was great. So we decide to countinue their great work and
present a new up to date list  in SPEWS-style, and even make it better."

(note: all typo's original)

There's a lot of good discussion here:

Personally, I think spews was useful as an informational tool, but was
absolute crap as a spam filtering tool.

Given that apews seems to be a less-literate group of operators (or at
least ones who don't know how to use a spell checker), I'd venture to
speculate this list is list will ultimately meet some of the following
speculations:
   - be as rabid as spews, if not more so
   - have stronger barriers to communication than spews.
   - be highly prone to errors in entry (judging from the typos in the
little original text, I expect the same in the zonefile..)
