"dnsbl.sorbs.net" contains all of the SORBS lists with the exception of:
"spam.dnsbl.sorbs.net"

You might want to check: http://www.au.sorbs.net/using.shtml for
further information.

Personally, I prefer "zen.spamhaus.org". It contains all of the
usual spamhaus lists. Further info available at:
http://www.spamhaus.org/zen/index.lasso

I might add that I am employing 'spamhaus' with Postfix. Once you
accept the mail, you can no longer legitimately reject it. Of course you
can delete it; however, I have never seen the logic in accepting to
delete.

Then again, that is just my 2¢.
