The robot has code to query whois, but we choose not to activate it (due 
to the possibility of abuse of the whois servers.)  Mailing the 
ISP-support queue and identifying yourself as the RIR PoC will not 
result in the robot processing your message (unless supervised by a 
staff member aka me - sometimes I use it to do the ground work for me, 
not forgetting that clearly named dynamic rDNS will result in the 
complete refusal of the delisting request regardless of who it comes from.)


ISP-Support queue maybe mailed directly or by using the webform: 
http://www.sorbs.net/cgi-bin/mail (or if you have a login to the Support 
website already you can log a ticket directly via the web).

Note: blocks of smaller than /29 will not be delisted without 
appropriate rDNS being set.

We do use information in local rwhois servers for authority, but there 
must be a referral to an authoritative rwhois server at the RIR 
(otherwise it could be some spammer's or home user's attempt to fool us.)
