SORBS doesn't block anybody. Whoever is receiving his e-mail uses SORBS on their server to determine if they want to receive e-mail from various sources.

His contacting SORBS won't do anything. His ISP has to contact them to straighten this out.

NONONONO!!!
NO!

SORBS is *NOT* blocking anything. The receivers ISP *IS* blocking. THEY are choosing to block any address listed in SORBS. SORBS is only a list. It does nothing by itself. In order for blocking to occur, the receieving mail server admin (IE: the ISP the mail was sent yo) needs to specifically set up their server to look in the sobrs list and block mail from servers listed there.

I know what you are saying, but it's unfair for you to say 'it's all their fault, they followed sorbs' list!' sorbs doesn't make the list to do nothing but exist, they created it in order for people to use it to block mail. Blaming it all on the mail server admin doesn't solve the bigger problem that sorbs has him on their list and will blackmail him in order to have his IP removed.
