Quote, mr. Dingeldine at "What The Hack", July 2005: "If you're still using SORBS then I feel sorry for you". I did a (Scr|G)oogle seach for SORBS just now http://www.scroogle.org/cgi-bin/nbbw.cgi?Gw=sorbs and it turns up all these pages talking about how bad SORBS is, and how their delisting policy can be described as "extortion" http://www.natesimpson.com/blog/archives/2004/10/07/sorbs-sucks/ Services like e-gold can use any kind of spam-solution they want, but perhaps education can at least be part of a solution. If you e-mail them and say "Please stop using SORBS, they block a whole lot more than they should" and you give them references and examples and explain how their list is 98% innocent IPs then perhaps e-gold will stop using Tor. Personal example: My e-mail DNSBL configuration was cut-and-paste off some howto webpage and it included SORBS. Then I learned about how SORBS blocks anyone and anything for any or no reason and then I checked every DNSBL service I used, their policy, who runs them and so on, and then I removed half of the DNSBLs I used. It may be that E-gold are not intentionally scamming Tor-users. It may just be that they have no idea how stupid it is to use SORBS for anything.
