All SORBS servers are being slowly revamped, reloaded and reconfigured along with the spamtraps.
Unfortunately or fortunately (depending on your perspective) this means many hosts
that had previously worked out where SORBS spamtraps were and therefore filtered spam
sending to enable them to send spam but not be listed at SORBS are now being caught
again. This includes major ISPs and mail providers that historically have been of the
attitude, "we're too big to block" are now getting blocked again.
For example, the following list of connections are from
Google's Gmail servers over a period of 60 minutes. This is one of fifty servers
that do not have any legitimate email addresses so all connections are to
deliver spam or viruses.

Many often say, "It's Google, you can't block Google, don't you know how
many people use Google?" Well this is where there is a problem, because
the moment that anyone accepts spam because it comes from a certain company
they make the problem worse because from that point on, that company will
never have any incentive to clean up their spammers. If they receive
money from the spammers for services, you can be assured they definitely
will not ever get rid of that customer.
