A large Telecom subnet has been black listed by sorbs (listed as dynamic e.g. dial-up/dsl/etc), this happens to include some/all of their mail servers as well as many customers (like the organisation I work for).
I understand that it's currently being worked on by Global Gateway (APNIC entry for subnet).
This has caused major disruptions to us and many other Telecom customers (to say nothing of Telecom themselves).
A number of announcements have been made by SORBS in various locations - there is an issue with slow database updates currently and this has caused a delay between listing of subnets in the DUHL and the inclusion of the exclusions for the static addresses in the same subnet. Unfortunately I cannot stop the and restart process or it will make the problem worse for affected users in the 207.x, 208.x, and 210.x ranges. It should clear within the next 24 hours (looking to be around 6-12 hours based on the current timing), previously the maximum delay has been 30 minutes. The problem has been identified, code has been written, and will not be an issue in the future. Regards, Mat
