If you're using sendmail:
cd /etc/mail
edit access and add:

# FreeBSD mailers
216.136.204.119                 OK
216.136.204.125                 OK

Save and 'make maps'.

Unless SORBS is trying to send you email, what would that accomplish?

If you use SORBS and don't like their policies, just stop using them. 
Or explicitly allow mail from the IP addresses you want, as above.
