You had to remind me.....   Not only is it hard for a ligit mailserver to 
get off their list.  (If I remember correctly - it was in the dial-up days) 
We got on their list not because they received spam from our server, but 
because a "known" spammer had a website that had in their domain registry 
listing an admin email address from our domain....

Please don't use SORBS unless it's just a small part of your scoring system. 
Read NANOG or mailops if you want to hear the pain of good people trying to 
get off of SORBS' lists

I don't know if anyone here uses SORBS or not.(I only use a subset of
their lists, handpicked and cached locally)

Apparently last night or yesterday(depending on your time zone), they
had a database issue and was sending out bad data.  If you are using a
local copy of their data, it's important you do a full download of their
data and replace the datasets you have.  Their 'delta' system is not
enough to cover this one from what I have seen.

As a result their website has been unusually slow, but it is working.
The rsync downloads are working normally.
