The Imminent Demise of SORBS
An anonymous reader lets us know about the dire straits the SORBS anti-spam blacklist finds itself in. According to a notice posted on the top page, long-time host the University of Queensland has "decided not to honor their agreement with... SORBS and terminate the hosting contract." The post, signed "Michelle Sullivan (Previously known as Matthew Sullivan)," says that the project needs either to "find alternative hosting for a 42RU rack in the Brisbane area of Queensland Australia" or to find a buyer. Offers are solicited for the assets of SORBS as an ongoing anti-spam service — it's now handling over 30 billion DNS queries per day. An update to the post says "A number of offers have already been made, we are evaluating each on their own merits." Failing a successful resolution, SORBS will cease operations on July 20, 2009 at 12 noon Brisbane time. Such a shutdown could slow or disrupt anti-spam efforts for large numbers of mail hosts worldwide.
Especially for someone with a sex change operation.
"Michelle Sullivan (Previously known as Matthew Sullivan),"
Huh?
That is an ugly woman.
Seems oddly appropriate that he/she runs an anti-spam list to block all those penis enlargement offers.
Stay classy, Slashdot.
Hey mods, I was trying to be funny. How about you mod me down again? Just wastin' modpoints. Just wastin' modpoints.
Die, douchebag. Suck my nipples. Eat after my intestinal tract. There. DIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
The issue of Matthew/Michelle is totally relevant. It lets us see what a fucked up individual Matthew Sullivan is. It's now apparent he has a severe mental illness, one so severe he is infact considering genital mutilation.
Mental Illness goes part the way to explain why sorbs was such a fucked up service run by someone who appeared to be complete mad, irrational and illogical.
Now, heres hopeing he takes his mental illness to the next level, and removes himself from the gene pool. The unfortunate fact is Matthew has a 15 year old son.
lol, keep telling yourself that your mutilated genitals are *great*
The BUTCH ones that keep modding me down because youre trying to be "manly"
Go to the timecop link. It made me laugh out loud.
