I am calling on all Network Operators to stand up and stop routing dnsbl.sorbs.net until that time they can commit to making real changes.
What sort of changes are you suggesting? Suggesting a block unless they make undisclosed changes is simply asinine. I'm no fan of SORBS, but at the end of the day (ignoring the issues like they had last week) they do what they say they do. The problem with SORBS is not SORBS itself, but the mail admins that are stupid enough to use it - or at least stupid enough to use it as a straight blacklist (as opposed to a scoring blacklist). Start up a campaign against those if you like - perhaps an RBL of people who are using the SORBS RBL - but asking people to stop "routing" a DNS domain just because you don't like their clearly stated listing criteria simply isn't going to fly.
