If you are unsure about how to get delisted, or want to know some of the reasons behind
the blocking, please use the SORBS Support System. This system is
new, and does have a couple of bugs, which may not give you any information.
It should, however, be used as your first call, as it will help most of you with your
problems. It will also give you the opportunity to log a support ticket with SORBS, enabling
you to get help.
ISP's you are encouraged to use the SORBS Support System as well,
though if you have had previous contact with SORBS and know the ISP Support email address,
you can contact it directly.
In all cases, if you receive a message indicating a ticket has been logged, or a mail has been sent,
the support system will send a message to your address confirming the ticket number.
Note: Due to the continual selfishness or stupidity of some people, support tickets
sent to the wrong queue will be deleted without being answered. Tickets submitted with the
SORBS Support System are always sent into the correct queue.
