Wie SORBS DeList

 First, you need to answer the questions 'Am I an Internet Marketer?' or 'Am I a spammer?' If your answer to either question is yes, you probably will not get out of the database. The same applies if you answer any of the following questions no...  
'Do I run a confirmed Opt-In mailing list?' (As defined by MAPS and Spamhaus)  

If you got this far, and answered honestly, you may be in a position to get out of the database.

Second, answer the following.

    Is my IP address in the neighborhood of a spammer?
    Is my IP address in a huge listed block?

If your answer to either is yes, then you have an "Escalated" listing and it is most likely that you will have to talk to your Internet service provider about getting the problem solved. If the listing was not caused by your own actions, which is frequently the case with shared equipment (including, but not necessarily limited to, the Internet service provider's outgoing mail servers, co-located servers, free web mails) and listings of more than one IP address in a particular range, then it also follows that the only party capable of addressing the problem is the real owner of the equipment and IP address(es) in question.  

Third and finally, if you are really not a spammer, or you are truly reformed, de-listing is relatively easy. You log in to the SORBS Support System and answer the questions truthfully and honestly. If you are within the thresholds and limits you will be presented with a 'Delist Me' button which you may use to "Self-Delist" the listing.  

Note: The self delist button is not available for "Escalated" listings and you have to be logged in and use the IP address listed to be authorised.   

 Follows are the thresholds and time periods:

    For first time listees you must have less than 10 spams recorded and wait a minimum of 48 hours.
    For second time listees you must have less than 50 spams recorded and wait a mimimum of 7 days.
    For third time listees you must have less than 100 spams recorded and wait a minimum of 30 days.
    For forth time listees you must have less than 200 spams recorded and wait a minimum of 183 days (6 months).
    For fifth time listees you must have less than 300 spams recorded and wait a minimum of 365 days (1 year).

The minimum perriod formula is a little more complex than described above and therefore delisting maybe longer based on the number of spams you have sent, however what is described is the minimum period.
