I've had similiar experiences with SORBS. My IP has been carelessly

On the other hand I do myself use SORBS and other lists now but only to
calculate the probability that a message is spam or not. I believe that
admins who abuse DNS blocking lists to block incoming messages should be
made to feel the heat they are causing. Call whoever you want to send
the messages and explain to them what irresponsible action their admin
has taken.

I beg to differ with you. I use several for the incoming mail to my
home domain and by doing so we get almost zero spam and with a very
quick and easy one time and forget it configuration.
On the flip side, I am part of a blocked ISP because of my dynamic IP.
However, I'll take this minor inconvenience (having to use CenturyTel's
smtp server) compared to spending hours configuring my mail server to
block what I can block with the DNS lists.
IF I were running a business, it might be different. But as of yet (two
+ years now), no one has contacted me telling me they get rejections
when sending me email - and if they do, I'll add then to my whitelist.
So I don't think I'm missing anything of any importance.
