It appears that SORBS are atill listing Telecom static IP ranges (- which my address is in,) as dynamic ranges. Wasn't this in the process of being fixed weeks/months ago? Does anyone have any ideas on how long this is going to be until it's resolved?
The whole SORBS situation over the past months is becoming a total joke, with mail admins I know turning off their use of SORBS - there is just far far far too many false positives... :-(
Paul.
One would certainly wonder why any sane NZ ISP would use SORBS !
SORBS has a couple of different zones, so I assume you mean the dynamic space list. The other zones - http.dnsbl.sorbs.net, socks.dnsbl.sorbs.net, misc.dnsbl.sorbs.net, smtp.dnsbl.sorbs.net, web.dnsbl.sorbs.net, spam.dnsbl.sorbs.net, zombie.dnsbl.sorbs.net, badconf.rhsbl.sorbs.net and nomail.rhsbl.sorbs.net - are very useful. Personally, I don't think that dul.sorbs.net is a good list for rejecting mail, but it's still reasonable for scoring mail. Anyway, I think admins should probably be whitelisting servers they particularly want mail from, e.g. scoring up NZ IPs. I seem to recall that XTRA has made it into other RBLs in the past, hasn't it? cheers, Jamie -- Jamie Riden / jamesr(a)europe.com / jamie.riden(a)computer.org NZ Honeynet project - http://www.nz-honeynet.org/
