How to fight SORBS

I think we all agree that spam is bad and we need to fight it. But this SORBS thing is worse than spam. They've closed down my site for the last 2 weeks, bringing down my customer level to -90%.

I use Wanadoo France (not world's most proactive isp) and host my own server. All my ports are closed except 2, and they are secure. I ahve no SMTP running, no POP, no IMAP, just http !!

According to SORBS, I'm on a dynamic IP address, which is wrong, it's static. But Wanadoo don't do reverse DNS, so the address at the end of my IP results in an internal name. So for SORBS I use a dynamix IP address, end of story, no discussion.

Wanadoo are not going to change their internal policies, SORBS is not going to change their limited view of the world.

I'l just within the accepted percentage of casulaties. I have to declare bankrupt, and have no recourse. I spent 3 years fighting to get the site where it was nwo, and finally starting to breakeven, and now it's dead.

SORBS wants to kill the patient in order to cure it. That seems to be their position. No prisoners. If there's no body running website on the internet, then there's no spam, therefore, they've won !!

Why is SORBS so powerful ?? Why are the ISPs listening to them ?? And what can be done so other sites like mine do go out of business ?? Is there an ANTI-SORBS organization out there ???

How many of you have been hit by these folks ?? Is it not time to organize and get things moving ??
