If you were worth your salt as an IT guy you would've had your ISP change your IP address though.

Um, no. Just change your IP, lol like nothing else is tied to it. We had a lot of other things that were pointed at that IP, again I did not set it up that way, but nonetheless would have been a cluster had we just up and changed it. In the perfect world you are correct, but we don't live there. And even two weeks in business is way too long to have to wait. Fix the problem let the software test and then de-list. My God I could understand if this was 1969 and some retard was taking requests by phone and manually testing but give me a break, any turn around time that is less that same day is ridiculous.

It took me about 6 months. I took over as the lead IT guy for a company who had their own Win Small Business server, but didn't have in house people to manage it. The initial setup wasn't done correctly and thus Sorbs had them blacklisted (along with several others I might add). I found and fixed the issues within my first week and then followed their process for removal and six months later finally got an email that I had been removed and things started working. The problem is that it seems a lot of people still use this list, because I know several of our vendors and customers were having trouble getting our email during this time. You can't expect that a business can wait 6 months to be removed. How is it fair for my company, who hired an incorporated company to set up their small business server, to have to pay SORBS bullshit fine? Esp when I've talked to other administrators who have paid it and still had to wait a bit. As far as I'm concerned SORBS is a confederacy of douchenozzles, and I for one wish they would have gone the way of geocities.
