My view is SORBS is a crock of shit, as was ORBS. If the day ends in "y" they block it ... Its called all care - no responsibility... They will blacklist entire (static) IP ranges with no warning, and no realistic way of removing the block, and treat everyone like s..t. The process is inherently flawed, because of the way static ranges end up on their list without reasonable checks. If they blocked a single IP address - then fine, its their wholesale and cavalier attitude to blocking entire ranges that is the root cause of the problem I have with S(ORBS), and why they are hated so much by people like me. No other blacklist operates like - or generates the hate - that S(ORBS) does. If they vanished tommorrow, the world would be a better place.

...

One would wonder why any sane mail admin wouldnt pull data from as many sources as possible when deciding on how to score spam.

Sure, but surely there has to be some measure of accuracy involved ? I mean SORBS is about as accurate as choosing every even IP address on Monday and public holidays, every odd one on every other day. It's just not even close to being what it is supposed to be billed as. _______________________________________________ NZNOG mailing list NZNOG(a)list.waikato.ac.nz http://list.waikato.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/nznog
