RE: SORBS?!

Now, if we could only teach Senderbase that if their customers receive 'questionable' smtp traffic from 1 IP address in 
a /24 it doesn't mean that all IP addresses in that /24 are malicious we'd really be living it up in 2012.

Some of the IP's I manage got blacklisted and its true they were spamming and Sorbs had a very valid reason for 
blacklisting them.

I got this response response from sorbs after resolving the problem amicably. Sorbs responded well on time.

*Your request appear to have been resolved. If you have any further questions or concerns, please respond to this 
message.

Please note:

If your IP address has been delisted (marked as 'Inactive'), it will take up to 2 hours to get from the database to all 
the SORBS DNS servers.  Changes to the database are exported to the DNS zone files periodically, not immediately after 
every change.  Furthermore, after the updated database contents have been exported to the DNS zone files, it will then 
take up to 48 hours for the outdated DNS information to be removed from DNS caches around the world - none of these are 
in SORBS' control.

Please do not reply to this call with problems not related to this ticket or your request will be ignored.
