OT: Re: Recent issue with SORBS

But that's the rub here; you're just passing the problem; and it's a
reasonable solution considering what kind of pain they are to deal with
so I'm not knocking your decision.  The last two times I had to deal
with SORBS it was because we got contaminated IP.  I told SORBS about it
and I got the "whatever, go bite your own ass or give us cash" type of
email from them.

Yeah, I'm fully aware that me choosing not to use them will only help my
users for mail we receive, and won't help us for the outbound mail we
send.

I believe our management team has an open ticket with SORBS to get at
least our single IP whitelisted with them for now. I know that's not a
forever sort of thing, but any short term relief will help.

Longer term, we're moving to a dfiferent netblock.  We just have to work
out the specifics of that move.
