My mail account checks incoming mail against sorbs. The firefox SMTP server is listed at sorbs for sending spam. That's not a mistake on my server. Sorbs is kinda a bigger list. You guys should wake up and get unlisted...

I had a fully set up and running account. When trying to login from a new computer, firefox suddenly wanted to send me a new mail. That mail got blocked. Before realizing why and what I seem to have blocked like 3 times. I could retrieve the mails from my log files. I even klicked the link from one of the mails. Unfortunately I logged out from Sync. Now I wont make it in anymore.

I was willing to delete the account. And recreate it. Firefox sync let me delete the account. Unfortunately you guys reject to send me a new activation mail. I even turned down the "block sorbs listed" filter.

I refuse to have an account to report bugs. Send me a mail if your problem is fixed. Meanwhile I will use wget... or something evil.

Firefox (Mozilla) uses Amazon SES for its mail services. Such a cloud service can of course be misused to send spam, but the same is possible with popular mail services like Gmail and Yahoo and Outlook (Hotmail).
