I need a SORBS maintainer to contact me. The SORBS site reports the site and databases are in maintenance mode for the second day in a row.

Based on info previously posted to the SORBS web site, I suspect SORBS may be in the middle of relocating their servers (changing hosting providers). If that's the case, I don't think you're going to have any luck getting changes made to the SORBS database until the move has been completed. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Jon Lewis | I route Senior Network Engineer | therefore you are Atlantic Net | _________ http://www.lewis.org/~jlewis/pgp for PGP public key_________

I don't think they watch here; at least I've never seen Michelle post here. Try dnsbl-users, the SORBS mailling list. From the google cache of the Mailling Lists page -- "This list is an open list where the SORBS DNSbl may be discussed. If it is about the SORBS DNSbl it is on topic (including questions on how to configure mailers to use SORBS). Currently this list is quiet, un- moderated, and anyone is free to join. Non-members of the list are not permitted to send mail to the list. For people who don't know the meaning of "confirmed opt-in" ("double opt-in" as most spammers call it), subscribe to this list and you will see how it works. Subscription is performed by sending a message to: majordomo@dnsbl.sorbs.net with a message body of: subscribe dnsbl-users end "
Thanks for the replies. I will use the mailing list if my issue doesn't get resolved. Regards, Tim R. Rainier Systems Administrator II Kalsec Inc. www.kalsec.com Marc Powell <marc@ena.com> wrote on 08/25/2009 10:35:43 AM:

I've had confirmation from Michelle personally this morning (following a similar question elsewhere) that the SORBS systems are indeed relocating. From a previous message to SPAM-L (reproduced with permission): Michelle Sullivan wrote:
SORBS is not closing. SORBS has received 3 credible offers for the purchase of SORBS, one of which was not interested in continuing SORBS but obtaining the IP and spamtraps. SORBS will not be accepting the latter offer.
Currently the two offers being considered are with anti-spam vendors and one of the two have indicated that they will not commercialise SORBS, but keep it as a community project. The other anti-spam vendor have indicated they would pursue a split commercial model, where there would be a free service as well as a 'premium' service (how this would work I do not know).
An announcement about which company is successful will be forthcoming when necessary paperwork has been signed.
Small outages will occur in the central database when the servers are moved, this will NOT affect SORBS services globally, only updates (listing and delisting) and local (Au) services during the outages.
As inconvenient as this outage may be, the background to it is one with which a large proportion of this list is probably bearing scars - physical relocation. On a related note, no I don't have any information as to who it is that has taken SORBS on. Regards, Graeme

This should be redirected to the spam-l (preferable) or mailop (possibly) mailing list, where your chances of paging someone working in the DNSBL/RHSBL community are much better. ---Rsk
