  Practically everybody good these days use weighted scanning combined
with IP blacklisting for severe offenders.  Google/Postini included.
But if your MX IP address is considered "dynamic" for whatever reason,
it is going to get weighted very highly towards the spam end of the
spectrum.  Practically all mail sent directly from dynamic hosts is
spam.  Whether or not Google should be using SORBS to make that
determination, I have no idea.

  Are you saying you've got a static IP host but the RBLs are flagging
the IP address as dynamic anyway?
