Has anyone dealt with them regarding a delisting of a /16 block - I rent my IP's through my supplier (who I also have my servers from).... They have a problem of spammers renting servers for just a month just to spam (allegedly), they assign a server a specific IP from a block, then additional IP's can be rented (like I do) for each server.
So, when Sorbs catches a spamming IP, instead of blocking /32 they block /16! So the whole damn block! I think this is wrong but they say it's normal (yes, afaik, that block does get abused by spammers often, which got me thinking why they blocked the whole block - still wrong imo).
Even I tried to get it delisted but they didn't want to know - even the supplier tried to delist for some time, no joy either.
N00bish question alert: Am I thinking right if we don't use that IP block for domains, then email will be ok, or do they look at just the main server IPs for mail?
On a side note, what is up with their site SSL certificate. I kept getting warnings on each page I went to!
