Default Exit SORBS....

And not before time.

This organisation has proven to be an utter menace to genuine email traffic for way too long. It would have to go for the simple reasons stated clearly by coryking in the responses.

I tried the civilised and pleasant method to get our server delisted by SORBS. After being a) insulted by Matthew Sullivan b) having Sullivan's crew liberally send *my* emails to other unknown third parties, I took another tack.

We refused to do business with anyone blocking our emails using SORBS. The sales teams in the supplier companies did the rest for us....

Unfortunately there is an update posted today on the SORBS page indicating there may be a reprieve.

Well, if they are being subsidised, or bought out, that means Sullivan will no longer have control. That is good.

We will watch this space.
