    Hi,

We had an issue with one of our old subnets which was used as a pool for dynamic dial-up in the past, which we now use for virtual hosting.

It took a few me a few hours but I was able to get it removed from the DUHL list. ( And a few walk around the block to calm me down after dealing with their robot =D ).

    As for being removed from their SPAM RBL that might be another story..

Actually knowing Chris, and his outfit, that 18k request seems unwarranted :(

As for SORBS, they have a ticket system at http://support.sorbs.net/ which use the same username/password as https://www.us.sorbs.net. You can follow up there with your ticket #, if their robot is being a bit too fascist.
    ( ecarbonel was the guy that help us in our case )

    PS: The ticketing system is not that fast, so be patient.

Hello,

Is anyone from SORBS still listening?   We have a few IP addresses here
and there that are listed, one in particular that has been for a spam
incident from over a year ago.  The "last spam" date is 03/05/2011
according to their lookup tools.

We don't have access to their Net Manager even if our ARIN POC corresponds
to the account on their system we opened a while ago.  We use their ISP
feedback form and never get any responses back.

Is SORBS still relevant and functional?

I've been trying to login to their 'support' interface for a while now.
  Emails from them for creating a new account or trying to recover a
password for an existing account don't actually come to me.  I actually
wrote Girish from the company that purchased SORBS (Proofpoint) about it
(also CC'd here) and I have had no reply whatsoever either.

I think we should all just NULL ROUTE all of their IP space on our borders
to get their attention.

Regards,
Landon
