Help me understand this a little better. When I have run sorbs.net in the
past, I didn't encounter per se blocking of "dynamic ip address
mailservers". What I encountered was that it blocked mail coming from
dynamic IP address origin. For example, if I myself sent an email directly
from my Comcast cable Internet connection to my mail server, it would be
rejected because of my dynamic IP address, but mail routed through Comcast's
mail server to my mail server was accepted. The mail server itself didn't
have a dynamic IP address, the mail was originating from a dynamic IP
address (even though my IP address hasn't changed in almost a year).
Therefore my question is: Is SORBS blocking email based on the mail server
actually having a dynamic IP address or are they blocking people with
dynamic IP addresses from connecting directly to the server or are they
blocking people who have a dynamic IP address as the originating IP address
of the email?

Thanks just in case someone is interested,
We like the restrictiveness of sorbs(except for hotmail, gmail and msn)
This is what we did:
A)Checked for the existence of the following lines at sendmail.mc
FEATURE(`delay_checks', `friend')dnl
B)Afterwards we executed the following command as root at /etc/mail
m4 sendmail.mc > sendmail.cf
C)Then edited the file access at /etc/mail and added the following lines
below
127.0.0.1 RELAY
Spam:hotmail.com FRIEND
Spam:gmail.com FRIEND
Spam:msn.com FRIEND
D)Afterwards executed as root
makemap hash access.db < access
E)Then restarted sendmail with
/etc/init.d/sendmail restart
Now we get email from hotmail,gmail and msn but dynamic ipaddress
mailservers are blocked and other (hacked server etc)...
Thanks to everyone

You have to use "delay_mode" in sendmail, i.e. be something like
FEATURE(`delay_checks',`friend')dnl
(depending on you needs)
Then you can use your access-map with:
Spam:hotmail.com FRIEND
Spam:hotmail.com FRIEND
But this is for all Lists ...
(Alternative: FEATURE(`delay_checks',`hater') Spam:<blacklist-domain> HATER
