Obviously you are not seeing the power in the current approach.

Apparently, I'm not understand the power of the current system, then. The current approach, as I understand it, has two ways of using it. You either kill a message on a single RBL hit (which is a little excessive), or you use Penalty Box Single Message Mode to score it. With the scoring, you either get 0 for no hits, X for RBL Neutral, or Y for RBL Fail.

If you have 6 RBL providers, and Minimum hits is set to 2, then one hit would get score X, but 2-6 hits would get score Y. Shouldn't more hits generate a higher score? Is it not the case that as the number of RBLs that list a certain IP increases, so does the likelihood that the IP is sending spam?

With the current system, you would have to use only the most generic RBLs and each hit would be given the same weight, be it from a high-quality RBL or a sloppy RBL (like SpamCop).

How is that more powerful than a more granular score-adding system where each RBL is weighed individually and additively?

are two lists of most RBLs in operation today, you can get many ideas for RBLs that aren't the standard antispam RBLs, but would still find use in blocking spam; such as lists of dynamic IPs, country-based lists, and others.
