We run a large number of servers and do our best to keep ontop of spam reports etc..
One user recently enabled webmail fron Nuke and got a spammer using it to send out a ton of junk mail.
The first reports we got we tracked it down and removed the site in question etc..
However, SORBs are demanding $50 to remove the IP from the list. Their comparison of speeding is something I find totally crazy.
Whats everyone elses view on their "blackmail"?
I think SA's configuration reflects a fairly reasonable view on it:
# unscored by default -- requires a $50 payment to be delisted. If you
# want to use this, give it a score so it will be checked. Note that
# in our testing, we found the accuracy to be quite low (hits 5.2%
# of spam, but 0.6% of non-spam).
score RCVD_IN_SORBS_SPAM 0
Only the sorbs "spam" list has a fee associated, all their other lists are free to remove from.
SA does use their other lists, which are free to remove, but doesn't use the $50 fee one.
