The IP space in a former lifetime was a dialup pool for analog modems. We of course changed the reverse DNS entries, and did the normal request with SORBS. Nothign really happened. I started looking into it, and finding stories of people doing the mandatory $90 donation to get express attention,...and at this point we know the poster (like a fair few other in this thread) is either talking c**p or mixing SORBS with some other list. There is NO donation required for non spam listings (a DUHL entry is not a spam listing) and $90 is plucked from thin air... a cursory look at the SORBS website will attest to that. Michelle Note: The original poster was noted to have never opened a ticket @ SORBS by one of the staff.. I haven't verified that personally, but it does follow a common theme.. People complain about listings and have subsequently been found to have *not* requested delisting through the correct channel (the SORBS support system)... I wonder how many would get this sort of response (a firey NANOG thread) if they complained their ADSL was broken to the yellowpages sales line...?!?!?
At the same time, I never hear this about spamhaus or outblaze. Go figure :( Maybe your system is too confusing and you might want to take a survey and revamp it to something a bit more functional.
