Actually SORBS is pretty frequently wrong. The IP address we had a home a while back (before wikipedia used sorbs) was marked as having an open proxy... Which is had... a year ago. SORBS ignored all emails from me, because they require the provider to take action. My provider ignored my emails because they know I don't have any other choices (other than paying for a real t1)...
Why are we blindly using this SORBS list if it is that bad? It is trivial to check if a certain IP-address/port combination is still an open proxy, so when someone edits from that IP, just check it and unban it if it isn't...?
