From http://www.us.sorbs.net/faq/spamdb.shtml

"Third and finally, if you are really not a spammer, or you are truly =
reformed, de-listing is relatively easy. You donate US$50 to a charity =
or trust approved by, and not connected with, SORBS for each spam =
received relating to the listing (This is known and refered to as the =
SORBS 'fine'). "

the BotNet spamming problem, but not really a solution, IMHO.
