A couple of questions
What is/was the source of spam?
Has the spam source been removed?
Is the original listing accurate?
If you don't like SORBS convince the folks using it to stop, or
whitelist your IP(s). It is really the people using SORBS that have made
the choice to not accept your email.
In regards to charging for their time by donating to a charity, would
you rather they had you pay them directly for their time at going rates.
