I tend to find SORBS lists are generally fine. The IP is very likely to
be a source of some spam - much like Paypal & eBay are sources of spam,
but listing gmail/hotmail et al is probably not the smartest idea as I'm
reasonably sure that the ham -2- spam customer ratio is pretty much the
former, rather than the latter.

But yeah, you make a pretty good point.
