this is a ip blacklist, not a sender domain blacklist

see more info on dkim settings and whitelist based on it in amavisd or 
even better whitelist_from_dkim in spamassassin

all else will fail

you used a dnsbl for ip to whitelist a sender domain, this will always 
fail, but sorbs blocked ip is a spam sign of its own, do you use any 
local or remote whiitelist that is for ip whitelistning ?

http://www.dnswl.org/ see howto in postfix so sorbs dont reject yahoo 
if not wanted
