Unfortunately SORBS also lists IPs in DUHL if their PTR in DNS has a TTL that SORBS regards as "too high." Back when I did use SORBS DUHL to reject mail I rejected several items of non-spam because of a case where an ISP had been listed, appealed, changed their reverse DNS, appealed, set information in WHOIS, appealed, then finally got told to also change their TTLs, at which point they gave up, and I cannot really blame them. I'm not going to waste time whitelisting every such occurrence when I don't agree with these extra policies, but if there are people willing to do so (or take a harder line) then fair enough. My point is that it is not as clear-cut with SORBS DUHL as you suggest. There are a lot of netblocks in there purely because the ISP will not jump through the "correct" sequence of hoops as defined by SORBS. Cheers, Andy
