No.

Furthermore, sendmail isn't able to differentiate between various positive
lookups so if you want to use, for example, dul.dnsbl.sorbs.net (127.0.0.10
response) and spam.dnsbl.sorbs.net (127.0.0.6 response), you have to
declare each zone separately in your list of DNSBLs. You can't use the
aggregate zone, dnsbl.sorbs.net, and tell sendmail to reject only if the
lookup result is 127.0.0.10 or 127.0.0.6.

One of the shortcomings of sendmail IMO.
