As for SORBS, I'm not aware of anyone that uses it these days because of the extortion thing and the rather ..ahem .. 
"eccentric" nature of it's owner.

I see you've never had the pleasure of dealing with SORBS. All it takes is
*ONE* message - EVER - to be instantly, and forever, listed in their
spamtraps list. Getting on the list is automatic and immediate. There are
no thresholds or limits; and there's expiration. The only way off that
list is to PAY them to remove you. (which makes it illegal in most places.
The corporate sharks flipped when I pointed them to that "policy".)

What "postmaster forms"? Those 4 are the most *impossible* companies with
whom I've ever tried to interact. I *know* there are people at Google but
I'll be damned if there's a way to reach any of them.
