History
The SORBS DNSbl project was created November 2002. It was maintained as a private list until 6 January 2003 when DNSbl was officially launched to the public. The list consisted of 78,000 proxy relays and has grown to over 3,000,000 alleged compromised spam relays.
In November 2009 SORBS was acquired by GFI Software, in an attempt to enhance their mail filtering solutions.
In July 2011 SORBS was re-sold to Proofpoint, Inc.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“All history becomes subjective; in other words there is properly no history, only biography.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Every library should try to be complete on something, if it were only the history of pinheads.”
—Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809–1894)
“Three million of such stones would be needed before the work was done. Three million stones of an average weight of 5,000 pounds, every stone cut precisely to fit into its destined place in the great pyramid. From the quarries they pulled the stones across the desert to the banks of the Nile. Never in the history of the world had so great a task been performed. Their faith gave them strength, and their joy gave them song.”
—William Faulkner (1897–1962)
