Complaint from a user led me to find this in our logfile:

Sep 21 09:07:07 gaia postfix/smtpd[6392]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from
bay101-f11.bay101.hotmail.com[64.4.56.21]: 554 Service unavailable; Client
host [64.4.56.21] blocked using dnsbl.sorbs.net; Spam Received See:
http://www.sorbs.net/lookup.shtml?64.4.56.21; from=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> proto=ESMTP helo=<hotmail.com>

We are a semi-high volume site with plenty of people who expect to receive
hotmail mail, so this is REALLY BAD.  I cringe at the thought of making a MTA
top-level whitelist entry for all the hotmail IPs that I can find, or of
removing sorbs from our list of postfix RBLs.

I also don't much care for the idea of using Sorbs only to tally points in
SA, since we get so much crap, we'd like to reject most of the obvious stuff
out of the gate - otherwise I envision our hard drives filling up twice as
fast with crap nobody wants anyway.

It sucks that microsoft can just do whatever they want since they have sooo
many users, but as this is the current state of our reality, I am interested
in what people are doing to deal with it as is.

Is this causing anyone else problems?
