RE: SORBS

That organization is un-believable, good luck!  I spent at least 40 hours
over the course of a month or two
trying to get a domain off their list.  Seemed like every time I passed one
of their criteria, there was something
else wrong.  It came down to the fact that the server IP was in a block of
SBC addresses that they didn't like how
they were configured.

In trying to get de-listed from SORBS I get:  
" the someone is lying, pay the fine response."
 
A friend once said: "

Life is so much easier when you assume that anyone who disagrees with you is
evil. Cuts down on the need to take responsibility or do any real objective
thinking."

"It seems to me that they make enough mistakes that ignoring them would
quickly render the use of SORBS a significant liability. I doubt anyone
wants to take that heat, but it sure looks like the better option to me, in
the long term.

Why do people work so hard to help someone maintain a list who clearly has
no interest in its integrity himself?"

I have to believe that at this point unless something changes with the
Blacklist, that is not longer valid when it continues to block the mail
servers of major internet service providers?

Unless there is a check against mail server IP, then it becomes a matter
where anyone using the list will soon stop getting mail from major ISP's.

I hope I am wrong, but our company has been blocked for over a month with
the only response being still to "pay the fine".

Sorry, but no ISP I know will pay "black mail" money to get delisted.
