I'm a long-time SpamCop member, so I forwarded your mail to the
deputies. They are aware that facebook's servers have been
sporadically listed, and one of them specifically said the following:

"Not much we can do about the listings.  They're sending spam to our 
traps in large enough numbers that raises the score to a listing level. 
  If Facebook were to follow best practices the spam complaints and
trap hits would drop to levels that keeps them from getting listed."
