Seems like a good incentive not to use that ISP. And therefore, if
the ISP starts losing good customers for this reason, it would be a
good incentive for them to check their new customers thoroughly and
set up any practicable blocks possible against spammers using their
service to send spam. Which is a good thing, current conditions
being what they are.
Of course, this is just my survey of arguments for this sort of
thing. I realize there may turn out to be reasons why it doesn't
work well in practice and the whole thing may be very controversial.
(So let's not have that debate here, if you disagree with the
above.)
Anyway, the real point is, what makes you think SORBS is somehow the
cause of current problems? Do you have knowledge that White Wolf just
installed it and it seems to be causing the mailing list to not
function this past week or so? That's what's confusing me. What
makes SORBS suddenly relevant here and now?
