Trouble is, your disabling SORBS will do nothing unless
all the smtp servers you send to also drop them.  Bottom
line is unless you figure out how to get off their
list or change your IP, you're going to loose outgoing
mail.

This just happened to me on a newly provisioned dedicated
server.  The previous IP user was a spammer.  I caught it
right away and had my provider come up with a clean IP.
Now they're stuck with a contaminated IP, but that's their
problem.
