In a blog post on 5 March 2010, (original French version), Gandi.net asserts that it has been blocked by SORBS since last December.
The accusations seem to be almost par for the course when accusations are leveled against SORBS. Namely, Gandi is saying that SORBS

UPDATE: Michelle Sullivan posted SORBS’ side of the story on 2 March 2010, on the news.admin.net-abuse.email USENET group.
