I gave up using SORBS (and I'm not Mat's enemy, mind you - I used to 
work for SORBS and still like the idea) because it was so random. 
Mat would block 2, say, out of AOL's 26 or whatever mailservers. 
Why? b/c those two were used to send spam. Right. So, not only do 
I have to explain to users why their AOL friends cannot write them, 
I *also* have to explain that the blocking is at random, and if 
their friend just retrys sending, they'll have a 92% chance of 
getting through. Completely unworkable. If you want to block AOL 
(and I totally sympathize with Mat here) just ... block ...
them and be done with it. Don't make me play email roulette.
