i keep seeing this claim, or variants of it, but i've seen no evidence

It two weeks for them to refuse my delisting request, then accept my
upstreams request for delisting. No matter what proof of a static IP an
end user provides besides changing rDNS, SORBS ignores it. You need an AS
number for them to accept an IP as static, if it doesn't meet their
requirements.
FYI, The TTL on my rDNS is still 7200. Far below SORBS delisting
requirements.
I eventually set my webserver (where I have have control of rDNS) as a
smarthost because SORBS didn't like my upstreams naming convention.
In the two weeks I was listed, I came across 4 ISPs that bounced my
outgoing mail. One even bounced mail to postmaster.
If it was easier to get delisted, SORBS DUHL might be OK, but as is, It's
a royal pain in the u-know-where to get off their list when you don't
belong there.
