I have two words, Due Diligence.

A security consultant should not be ignorant of the security implications of running a small business on the cheap out of a home. There are better and cheaper alternatives and as a small business owner you should have contingency plans for dealing with failure.

The issue with SORBS is that you have to be an idiot to subscribe to all their RBLs. Yes, they run multiple RBLs. Dynamic RBL is comprised of IP addresses that ISPs submit to SORBS as sources email should not be coming from. That's a low risk list to subscribe too since the ISPs are making the call on which IP addresses to add or remove. The Vulnerability RBL is high risk and should not be subscribed too since it is port based and you can run just about any service on any port.

That's the issue I take with this opinion piece. Which SORBS RBL are you in? If it's the Dynamic RBL then your issue is with your ISP, not SORBS. My guess, the issue with your ISP is that they want Small Business owners to subscribe to a Business ISP package instead of the cheaper, less featured Residential ISP package. See first paragraph, SLA is an acronym a small business owner and security consultant should know.
