Rejecting during the SMTP session is a bad answer because IT ISN'T MADE TO BE USED AS A BLACKLIST. The whole purpose of the list is to gather statistics about how many domains have private whois info. Al Iverson is using it correctly to gather stats about domains. Also, don't trust SPF.

Submission + - SORBS Blocklist Reportedly Sold For $451K (jedsmith.org) 1

palegray.net writes: "SORBS, a well-known email blocklist provider, has reportedly been sold for $500M. Early reports indicate an acquisition by GFI, a company specializing in various communications services. In recent years, SORBS has been the target of frequent accusations of mismanagement and poor conduct, leading many to wonder if this turn in events might signal a chance for improved behavior. Citing lack of ISP support, the blocklist released statements earlier this year that they would be shuttering their operation."
