Sorbs has been unresponsive to our requests to have our IP block (207.246.200.16/28) re-listed as a static IP block. Our IP block used to be a dynamic IP block, like those for DSL and dialup. Dynamic IP’s are good to block mail from - since most legitimate users have a real mail server with a static IP to connect and send from. Any home computer sending email - well most have no business reason to send email. It’s either a home server or a spam spitting zombie. If you do want to send email from a home system, one can set up smart hosting where outgoing mail is relayed via a real email server.

So, why Sorbs is still listing us - not sure. Any sysadmin’s that use SORBS for spam blocking will block email from these servers also. We only use Spamhaus for blocking, plus their LASSO list to deal with Bogons.
