Why would sorbs be liable for this? It was your systems which forwarded the 
spam onto the sorbs system which then accepted. Pretty simple case of you 
relayed spam/backscatter and got listed. Sound like just about everyone here 
speaking out against sorbs has a chip on thier should because they either 
dont want to follow the practices to eliminate most of the spam out there.

I like the way you keep calling sorbs unreputable, yet so far not one person 
has been able to raise a single piece of information other than complaining 
that they are or have been listed or cant get out of the list. Maybe its you 
who should be looking at your own operations and how you run them and how 
others who dont have problems run thiers and make some changes.
