I've had nothing but sore issues with SORBS and getting removed from
whatever black list was getting us blocked by participating mail systems.

Our ARIN allocation is:

67.217.144.0/20

and SORBS had us listed within a larger black listed range, like the
containing /12. It took us weeks to be removed from that range (or to have
an exception added). This was probably a couple of years ago, or early last
year.
