I work for Proofpoint -- we acquired SORBS back in 2011. There is delisting (via SORBS support ticket). Additionally, there is NO CHARGE to be delisted.
Hi Jaren, The big problem I remember with SORBS from my ISP days was that if they tested an open relay at IP address A and the return message came from IP address B, they listed IP address B. This put me in an impossible situation as an ISP providing an SMTP smarthost to my authenticated customers. If just one of them screwed up their mail programming, not trying to spam mind you, just screwed up their configuration, my entire relay was hit with a block. Practically speaking, to keep my mail server off SORBS I was required to employ SORBS on my relay to block any customers whose IP appear as an input into SORBS. If I wanted to stay off their list then I MUST use them. Bad ethics there IMO. Is itstill SORBS practice to list both input and output IP addresses of an open relay, regardless of detected spam activity and without any attempt to notify the mail op of the problem?
