So much for the net-neutrality argument now that we've devolved to clean
and contaminated IP.

Trouble is, your disabling SORBS will do nothing unless all the smtp
servers you send to also drop them.  Bottom line is unless you figure
out how to get off their list or change your IP, you're going to loose
outgoing mail.

This just happened to me on a newly provisioned dedicated server.  The
previous IP user was a spammer.  I caught it right away and had my
provider come up with a clean IP.
Now they're stuck with a contaminated IP, but that's their problem.
