I recently noticed SORBS having my IP listed. All other blacklists I'm
tracking with MXToolBox and others are fine. I never heard of SORBS nor did I get every any rejection replies due to them. I read though lots of bad reviews about that blacklist on the net while researching. Delisting is also impossible. Do I have to bother about this list or is it a crappy blacklist I should not care about? If I should bother how is one supposed to delist an IP if there is no email contact and broken menus/forms? -- Yours sincerely Plüss Roland Leader and Head Programmer - Game: Epsylon ( http://www.indiedb.com/games/epsylon ) - Game Engine: Drag[en]gine ( http://www.indiedb.com/engines/dragengine , http://dragengine.rptd.ch/wiki ) - Normal Map Generator: DENormGen ( http://epsylon.rptd.ch/denormgen.php ) - As well as various Blender export scripts und game tools |

That's probably why you don't see your mail being blocked. SORBS may be useful in a scoring system.

If your IP is listed, it means that mail is going somewhere it shouldn't, typically due to a purchased, dirty list. If SORBS lists you … others will probably follow in time. >> If I should bother how is one supposed to delist an IP if there is no >> email contact and broken menus/forms? The more painful listings auto-expire after 48 hours of no new abusive traffic. Aloha, Michael. -- "Please have your Internet License and Usenet Registration handy..." |

Sorbs can be devilish.... and you should be concerned. My first question to you
though is do you have a signup process and does it have a captcha? If you do and do not include a captcha, you should first resolve that by installing a captcha. Most likely sorbs will say that they have an email that proves that you have spammed. But they use some underhanded methods for actually putting you into a spam trap, and then place the blame on you. Personally I think you should do everything you can to clear your "web name" from this list, the longer you are listed the better the chance of another service jumping on the GET YOU spamwagon! Review the delisting page: http://www.sorbs.net/delisting/overview.shtml Create an account: http://www.sorbs.net/cgi-bin/support and thus a support ticket regarding your IP address, BE NICE but use wisdom, and no matter how long it goes on, keep your cool!

> >> Do I have to bother about this list or is it a crappy blacklist I should > >> not care about? I personally don't see rejections based on this. mail.python.org got listed once for "spamming". Looking at the evidence I found that somebody subscribed (using double opt in) and subsequently receieved what he/she subscribed for. And then, somehow, this was supposed to be spam. I then challenged the listing, nothing happened. Nobody contacted me, nobody delisted anything. Just let SORBS slip into obscurity. -- [*] sys4 AG http://sys4.de, +49 (89) 30 90 46 64 Franziskanerstraße 15, 81669 München Sitz der Gesellschaft: München, Amtsgericht München: HRB 199263 Vorstand: Patrick Ben Koetter, Marc Schiffbauer Aufsichtsratsvorsitzender: Florian Kirstein |
