As a former sysadmin at a business ISP about 25 years ago, I do not miss SORBS and friends. They probably got better when taken over by a professional team, but by then I had moved on into another industry and did not have to manage mail relays. I don't miss that one bit.

It takes a peculiar character to withstand the endless onslaught of complaints from unscrupulous marketers, clueless sysadmins inadvertently running a spam cannon, and end-users feeling the need to threaten lawsuits because their church distribution list got blocked.
