Reading this thread made me look at the headers of my posts to the redhat
based lists. Sure enough, the IP of my MTA is listed in the SORBS DUHL list.
Damn! Fricken Verizon (trying to be a netcitizen with the RBL's), is so big,
doesn't even know which of their customers are static vs. DHCP. I think this
will be the 3rd de-listing request I have sent to various RBL's in the past
couple of months. So far, each RBL has de-listed my IP netblock because
Verizon has changed the PTR record (per my request) for my IP address to
match my MTA's HELO announcment. According to Verizon, they don't change PTR
records for DHCP assigned address space, but yet my netblock is sent to
RBL's as DHCP assigned. GROAN!!

Sending a de-listing request to SORBS...
