All 30 IP's I rent are Static, and that has never changed over the years I've owned them, my servers are also running Linux and are very secure with both Spamassassin and ClamAV scanning, as well as blocking certain mimetypes.
So don't give me dynamic IP range stuff, I was lucky that my ISP managed to straighten them out, but I've had friends that aren't as lucky.
Of course SORBS is going to block a high rate of spam, it's also blocking a lot of legitimate people, and the fact they are extorting people to get off the list is ludacris.
I'm sorry but SORBS should be shut down.
The amount of time I myself and many colleagues have managed to get onto SOBS because we were classed as a dynamic IP range, despite having blocks of IP's and it's extremely hard to get off it.
I understand blocking people with Open relay servers, but being in a dynamic range, which can mean IP's being assigned to you from your ISP is a joke.
Everyone should be boycotting these guys, two of the large ISP's in Australia use these guys to filter out spam, and are being blocked by small business's and Education.
I've never posted comments on Slashdot yet, but this is one I feel very strongly on, and SORBS should be avoided at all costs.
If they deem you a Spammer, despite proving to them you are not, they still reserve the right to keep you on the list and completely screw over your business.
