Re: Re: OT: sorbs blacklisting scam
The one thing that pissed off a lot of people (and suprised me because
I have never had a listing at SORBS before, so I couldn't have known)
is the part about a the so to call "delisting fine". Why are we forced
to trust (SORBS) a organisation in donating funds to a good case that
we are forced to provide to get delisted? SORBS has a financial funnel
to a random charity? How does this work?
SORBS doesn't collect the money and forward it to charities - the person
paying the fine pays to a charity (or SORBS nominated good cause) which
will provide a receipt that SORBS admins can verify independently (Yes
there are some who forward fake receipts)
This delisting fee is not optional, but there is no external
organisation that has any way of doing a check in how the SORBS
organisation is setup, and financially is beeing maintained. This is a
guess, and that's because of the lack of easy accessable information
about this fee.. which brings me to the following:
It realy amazes me, the lack of immediate information about this
"feature". SORBS, independent and all, but no clear overview in how
this works.. a lack of advertisment?
Unfortunately all the details are there, just some never read them. The
Overview page is a brief information page - the Spam DB FAQ is a full
description.

So just to restate: SORBS does not collect or see any of the 'fines', at
all or ever, regardless of what some will say. You can donate to SORBS,
a SORBS donation will not be counted as a payment for the fine, and in
the past when people have tried (three to date) we tell them they have
the option of a refund or they can keep the donation to SORBS and pay
the fine as per the rules. One listee requested a refund.
