There are? SORBS has been listing BT for some time now because of the
continual stream of spam to the spamtraps, and first contact was made
within the last 7 days - and from memory that mail appear to be a bit of
throwing ones weight around (which doesn't wash with me at all -
everyone is treated the same, and if I am treated with respect I treat
others with respect).

I agree, though based on the recent communication I wonder whether
someone is after finding out whether they should be able to safely
ignore lists such as mine ... ;-/

PS: If there are BT staffers here with clout, you might want to contact
me over the listings. Noone is exempt from listing in SORBS, but proven
whitehats don't get blocked.
