I would personally veto this immediately.  We are not an advertising service
for RBLs.

If an RBL is submitted for inclusion for SA, it should not have policies that
would affect anything but the most extreme cases.  Any URLs should point to an
SA page such as a wiki letting them know to disable the rules.

I agree.  What RBLs have this issue and I will immediate work to disable them
in a default SA installation for the 3.4.0 release?

regards,
KAM
