Subject: [Spam-l] [BLOCK] Future of SORBS.

From: Michelle Sullivan
All,
Just a quick follow up, more details when paperwork is signed, sealed
and delivered.
SORBS is not closing. SORBS has received 3 credible offers for the
purchase of SORBS, one of which was not interested in continuing SORBS
but obtaining the IP and spamtraps. SORBS will not be accepting the
latter offer.
Currently the two offers being considered are with anti-spam vendors and
one of the two have indicated that they will not commercialise SORBS,
but keep it as a community project. The other anti-spam vendor have
indicated they would pursue a split commercial model, where there would
be a free service as well as a 'premium' service (how this would work I
do not know).
An announcement about which company is successful will be forthcoming
when necessary paperwork has been signed.
Small outages will occur in the central database when the servers are
moved, this will NOT affect SORBS services globally, only updates
(listing and delisting) and local (Au) services during the outages.
Regards,
Michelle Sullivan
