I agree with you 100%. I've had it out with Matthew Sullivan (the SORBS
founder) regarding issues on behalf of my clients. He's an asshole.

cpansorbs.net is a well-known spam trap. Person A is an idiot.

If it were a charity of your own choosing, it wouldn't be so bad -- but Mr.
Sullivan reserves the right to choose which causes are "worthy", including
getting some Australian jagoff out of jail.

You should add to your terms-of-service a cost & fine for doing anything
which causes you to be listed.

This is why I don't give out free webmail accounts to anyone. You are
responsible for your users; if you wish to be so generous, you also risk the
consequences of your generosity. "No good deed goes unpunished (Samuel
