SORBS, huh ?
My issue was that I was ( is ) getting tons of spam emails, and unsubscribing was ignored in a number of cases; sometimes resulted in getting even more spam from other sources.
One of the Federal agencies is responsible for assisting citizens with this issue, I forget whether it as FTC or FCC, but you will find references to it on their website; BUT, just try and get help from them- they are totally useless and it will go nowhere.
I should look into SORBS and see if they would help with this. If I don't open my email for several days, when I do, I have literally HUNDREDS of junk email in both my Inbox and Spam folder.
I have to scan them manually by eye to make sure an important email I do want is not mixed in there, before deleting. This labor is frustrating.

My question, I suppose, is if anyone else thinks SORBS is a scam
I've used it for a long time
