Now, if we could only teach Senderbase that if their customers receive 'que=
stionable' smtp traffic from 1 IP address in a /24 it doesn't mean that all=
IP addresses in that /24 are malicious we'd really be living it up in 2012=

Some of the IP's I manage got blacklisted and its true they were spamming a=
nd Sorbs had a very valid reason for blacklisting them.
I got this response response from sorbs after resolving the problem amicabl=
y. Sorbs responded well on time.
*Your request appear to have been resolved. If you have any further questio=
ns or concerns, please respond to this message.
Please note:
If your IP address has been delisted (marked as 'Inactive'), it will take u=
p to 2 hours to get from the database to all the SORBS DNS servers. Change=
s to the database are exported to the DNS zone files periodically, not imme=
diately after every change. Furthermore, after the updated database conten=
ts have been exported to the DNS zone files, it will then take up to 48 hou=
rs for the outdated DNS information to be removed from DNS caches around th=
e world - none of these are in SORBS' control.
Please do not reply to this call with problems not related to this ticket o=
r your request will be ignored.
