Hogwash. If your IP is on one of these lists, you deserve it. There is
no reason why my mail server should accept mail from open-relays,
non-existant email addresses, nor spoofers. Until administrator
incompetency is abated from the internet, RBL's are a simple step to
bypass the incompetent. I prefer to reject an email, than waste CPU
cycles, trying to deliver and eventually /dev/nulling garbage. My
client's indicate they appreciate it too.
