Hi Anne,
Judging from Landon's web page a vanishingly small percentage of his
customers are in the opt-in mailing list business. He's in the generic
hosting business, so aside from the abusers his customers will tend to
be heavy on single-recipient administrative emails rather than mailing
lists.
If you send him a complaint scrubbed in the manner you describe, he
won't have enough information to act. You'd basically be wasting both
his time and yours.
