Jag netblock blacklisted by SORBS

[thisisit3]

Several of our dedicated IP addresses are listed in SORBS, apparently, a whole netblock used by Jag was recently listed in the SORBS blacklist:


Netblock: 69.73.128.0/18 (69.73.128.0-69.73.191.255)
Record Updated: Tue Mar 31 03:54:11 2009 GMT


I contacted support and they said they are aware of the problem and to... wait, which I did, but the netblock is still blacklisted.

Any suggestions what to do next?

PS:
i've already used the "de-list" feature in the SORBS web site.

If you contacted support, they've likely done what they need to do to get it unblocked, and we have to just wait until it's done.

[JPC-Les]

Yes we are still working with sorbs to get it de-listed.

Any status report?

The uceprotect block list is a scam, they blackmail people to get them delisted.

Unfortunately, the SORBS list is very real and very legitimate (i use it myself on all our servers), we are still blocked and this is causing serious issues.

Jag, any luck getting the Jag netblock delisted?

[Frank Broughton]

I agree this needs to get rectified and as fast as possible.

We are still trying to work it out with SORBS they have decided one of our clients is a spammer because they have an affiliate program. They are currently refusing to delist us until we terminate the client. This client has been with us 3 years and simply isn't a spammer. They had a webform that was abused by spammers but SORBS doesn't care.

If you feel SORBS is legit then I suppose that's your right but in my experience and others I've spoke with find them completely unreasonable.

It's looking like we have to terminate a longstanding good client because SORBS doesn't like a business model that includes paying for referrals. You guys agree with this?

This is not the first time and we are not the only one having this issue with SORBS. I don't understand why any mail administrator in his/her right mind would use SORBS for blacklist. We don't. If we had done that it would have created a chaos for our clients losing legit emails from left and right.

Is spamhaus a typo? I did a check for your VPS IP in their lookup tool and it's not listed in spamhaus. Or has this already been solved? TO my knowledge only SORBS and UCEPROTECT are the only ones listing any of our addresses.

BTW spamhaus is my preferred list. Those guys know how to run a list.

Hmmm, good question...

IF the client has a policy that terminates affiliates for spamming, then no. Otherwise, the referral program can lead to huge amounts of spam generated for the purpose of getting "referrals" with an affiliate-id. For instance, Amazon.com did a pretty good job in preventing affiliates from sending spam emails and such... they just don't tolerate it.

LoL!

Sounds kinda hypocritical, holding others to a standard YOU can't meet - then complaining about it!

What now, bitch?

[Vin DSL]

Right on!!!

These cowards don't have the balls to blacklist Gmail & Yahoo!

That's why I use them for important mails...

Les, I am checking the email that keeps getting kicked back to me.

PM sent.
