Yes, but the AHBL is actually a responsible blacklist service.
SORBS has policies which make me choose to not use it on my mailservers,
and the general amount of complaints I have heard about it is a major
turnoff.
Also, I believe SORBS are the ones that require a donation to get out if
you've been screwed by your upstream provider that just handed you a
tainted class-C. With the shortage of IPv4 addresses becoming more and
more imminent, such policy is simply unacceptable.
