Sorbs sux, don't use it. Last time we had this problem they wanted
money (and not an insignificant amount either) to remove a listing

where I come from, that's called extortion.
SORBS is an Australian entity, so they're "local" to you, at least in a
legal system sense.. If it is extortion in your legal system, you might
want to take advantage of that fact.
Regardless, what matters from a spamassassin perspective is the
accuracy of the list. That's the primary criteria that will get a list
kicked out.
SORBS-DUL is one of the most accurate RBLs spamassassin uses in the
mass-check tests. 99.4% of its hits are spam. This beats out all other
RBLs in spamassassin's config except PBL (which ties it), XBL, and 4
lists with very low hit rates that wound up with no nonspam hits.
If it's really as arbitrary and random as you claim, how's it so
accurate in real world tests?
Personally, it sounds like they listed you, and you've got a personal
beef. The real world tests don't support your claims that it's operated
on an arbitrary basis.
