Unfortunately, yes. :(
I am sorry to tell that, but is you use sorbs as a first line of defense
and reject with 5xx on this only, be prepared to reject a bunch of
legitimate mails.
I prefer to use them on a basis like "if you are listed on sorbs spam
and the callout doesn't verify, and you are attaching an image, just
forget about sending me mail". So they are useful, no doubt about this,
but just cannot be trusted.
