Oh, this is very disappointing. I will see if I can get the sourceforge postmaster's attention. It looks like they're using the "all lists" RBL from SORBS will is bad because it contains the "Database of servers sending to spamtrap addresses" RBL which is _terrible_.
I used to use that too, but their spamtrap list is NOT well maintained. The "Dynamic IP Space (Cable, DSL & Dial Ups)" list is much better, and isn't redundant with a number of other zombie-scanning RBLs.
Ugh.
