How is proofpoint related to SORBS?

I think SORBS is somewhat overzealous these days, part of a reason why i personally think e-mail is completely broken these days. I've seen many IPs being blocked with no apparently no good reason, whole subnets because of 1 bad apple in the mix etc. I have removed SORBS lists from use for this reason, it was blocking way too much legitimate (almost solely legitimate) e-mail for us. Does not help when hotmail drops e-mail silently (with no apparent reason), and it seems gmail/google has started to do the same.
