SORBS shutting down…and it’s affect…
From SORBS.net:
“It comes with great sadness that I have to announce the imminent closure of SORBS. The University of Queensland have decided not to honor their agreement with myself and SORBS and terminate the hosting contract.
I have been involved with institutions such as Griffith University trying to arrange alternative hosting for SORBS, but as of 12 noon, 22nd June 2009 no hosting has been acquired and therefore I have been forced in to this announcement. SORBS is officially “For Sale” should anyone wish to purchase it as a going concern, but failing that and failing to find alternative hosting for a 42RU rack in the Brisbane area of Queensland Australia SORBS will be shutting down permanently in 28 days, on 20th July 2009 at 12 noon.”
Now the somewhat good news, I stopped using SORBS about 2 years ago…
We use Spamhaus and other things here on inexistence so the spam filtering
shall continue even when SORBS is gone…
Just thought I should allay some fears and clarify a few things on the matter
