"Turd"? Bit of a hard call, especially given that you don't need to
look very hard to find any number of people who dislike SORBS, including
a large percentage of the anti-spam industry.</I></FONT></PRE>

Yes, but I would expect most people have taken exception to an anti-spam organisation at some time or another for many various reasons.<BR>

You are not seriously going to quote Iverson are you :) He will assault an organisation just for getting up on the wrong side of the bed! He has constantly attacked Spamcop as well as others.<BR>
<BR>
Either way, whether you like or dislike Iverson, I would like to think people here on this list at least do not protect their networks based on personalities or what "some other guy" says. No RBL or S.A etc, is immune to false positives either and defining FP's is an individual thing. <BR>
<BR>
As admins responsible for managing anti-spam I would think that we use what works best for us, in *our own* environments, SORBS works extremely well for me, as does Spamcop and couple of others, it also seems good enough for Optus to use (or at last used circa 2006).<BR>
