I noticed that problem when using safe.dnsbl.sorbs.net. I removed it and added the following to solve the problem;

 http.dnsbl.sorbs.net - List of Open HTTP Proxy Servers.
  socks.dnsbl.sorbs.net - List of Open SOCKS Proxy Servers.
   misc.dnsbl.sorbs.net - List of open Proxy Servers not listed in
                          the SOCKS or HTTP lists.
   smtp.dnsbl.sorbs.net - List of Open SMTP relay servers.
    web.dnsbl.sorbs.net - List of web (WWW) servers which have spammer
                          abusable vulnerabilities (e.g. FormMail scripts)
                          Note: This zone now includes non-webserver
                          IP addresses that have abusable vulnerabilities.
   spam.dnsbl.sorbs.net - List of hosts that have been noted as sending
                          spam/UCE/UBE to the administrators of SORBS. This
                          zone also contains net blocks of spam supporting
                          service providers, including those who provide
                          web sites, DNS or drop boxes for a spammer. Spam
                          supporters are added on a 'third strike and you are
                          out' basis, where the third spam will cause the
                          supporter to be added to the list.
  block.dnsbl.sorbs.net - List of hosts demanding that they never be tested
                          by SORBS.
 zombie.dnsbl.sorbs.net - List of networks hijacked from their original
                          owners, some of which have already used for spamming.
<snip>

I did not use; dul.dnsbl.sorbs.net - Dynamic IP Address ranges (NOT a Dial Up list!)

Best,

James

Apparently sorbs.net is having issues with accidentally adding loads of
static IP addresses to their dynamic IP's list.

If you use them you might want to stick a "warn_if_reject" in front of
the reference until the matter is resolved.
