-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Yeah, SORBS suck a big time.
My Tor exit-node was a couple of years ago listed in SORBS db. Once I changed Tor servers ip to another and closed ports that are commonly used to connect to irc servers I got off the list and havent gotten relisted since. What irc has to do with email / smtp? Some ISP's block all incoming mail if smtp server is listed in SORBS. I have contacted couple of finnish ISP's and they all we're very uncooperative. M > No, its just SORBS, thay havnt got a clue.
