SORBS Blacklist

["Barros, Jacob" <jkbarros () GRACE EDU>]

Recently we were compromised and our mail server was used to relay SPAM
by an authenticated user (and haven't found the culprit yet). As a
result, we've been blacklisted by a few places.  
One of which is SORBS.. https://www.dnsbl.au.sorbs.net/cgi-bin/lookup.

To get off their list you have to pay $50 to a charity they specify, one
of which seems bogus from the research we've done.  Does anyone know
anything about or trust this SORBS organization?  Who is looking at
SORBS for their SPAM info and if we don't get off their blacklist how
will that effect us?

We want to get this cleaned up but SORBS gives me a bad feel.  Any
comments or impressions?
