The reason I'm asking is that it turns out that the static IP
given me by my ISP (Zen) is in a block blacklisted by SORBS.
Any informed comments or advice most welcome!
Have you tried asking to have your address removed ?
It looks very much like the whole block has been added just because
some of it is (or has been) dynamic addresses. I think your first
action should be to ask SORBS to remove your address from the
database (on the basis that it's a static address).
From http://www.nl.sorbs.net/faq/dul.shtml
Anyone else may request delisting of addresses or netblocks provided
that reverse DNS naming is set to indicate static assignment.
End users (non ISP staff): SORBS support staff may ask you to ask
your ISP to request the change as you are not authoritative
information about the network ranges in question.
Also on the same page, under the heading "Additions/Submissions to
the DUHL Exclusion List" :
We also operate a self-help exclusion interface that allows the
owner of a system to quickly exclude a single IP address (or, in
some cases, multiple IP addresses) from the DUHL. For this to be
possible, the following criteria need to be met:
* The MX record of a domain needs to contain a host name that maps
to the IP address involved. The Time to Live of the MX record needs
to be at least 43200 seconds.
* The A record for the host name needs to have a TTL of at least
43200 seconds.
* The reverse DNS PTR record for the IP address involved needs to
map back to the name given in the MX record, and to have a TTL of at
least 43200 seconds.
* If there are multiple MX entries, these rules apply to them all.
I note that 88.96.44.206 resolves to 88-96-44-206.dsl.zen.co.uk so
the first thing you will need to do is get that changed to resolve to
something fixed and which you own - unless you do that then SORBS
isn't going to delist you.
