You should get out more. SORBS is one of the premier blacklisting sites and
used by more administrators than probably any other.

Most legit, established webhosters have a zero tolerance for spam. In
fact, if you are novice enough to have an easy to hack password so
spammers can get access to your account for spamming then many of the
best hosters will not even deal with you anymore rather than "work the
problem out".

And it appears to cost $50 to get the IP un-blocked, supposedly payable by
the ISP to a list of charities.

SORBS actually has several databases (ie spam/proxy/dynamic ip). The
$50.00 charitiable donation is only required to get out of the spam
database (and that only applies if *you are the spammer*). For the
hacked/open proxy databases, you need to secure/patch your system, then
open a support ticket to be delisted. For the dynamic list, that is a
listing of ip addresses that are known to be dynamically assigned, and
ought not to be running mail servers anyway. If you have a static ip,
get your rdns set to indicate static assignment (and get a ttl of 43200
seconds or higher), then open a ticket (through the above support
website). HTH
 
It's NOT picking on you. The person SENDING the e-mail is the one affected.
I guessed that but was wondering what it does.

How I got it's attention, for example.

I'm a nice guy, why is it picking on me???

Thanks
