I think what many of us are trying to say is not that the user running the MX on dsl are doing something wrong but that from an outside perspective there is no way to tell if such an address is really a) a hacked home computer sending spam, b) an actual hobby email server or c) a spammer trying to get a address unlisted so that spam gets through. People are suspicious and require people to do all kinds of things for unlisting just because spammers are very creative in cheating and finding new ways to get past blocks. This has lead to a certain kind of meritocracy where whois-records, reverse names and other such data end up with more meaning than they used to, and this can cause problems for you and others who are not able to do what was possible years before. > Before this, I've only made one post on this topic.

I too hastily connected this conversation in my mind to those people who do actually have a vendetta against SORBS.
