I gave up using SORBS (and I'm not Mat's enemy, mind you - I used to
work for SORBS and still like the idea) because it was so random.
Mat would block 2, say, out of AOL's 26 or whatever mailservers.
Why? b/c those two were used to send spam. Right. So, not only do
I have to explain to users why their AOL friends cannot write them,
I *also* have to explain that the blocking is at random, and if
their friend just retrys sending, they'll have a 92% chance of
getting through. Completely unworkable. If you want to block AOL
(and I totally sympathize with Mat here) just ... block ...
them and be done with it. Don't make me play email roulette.
