I don't have a problem with this concept.  My veto statement above had to do
with the actual URL and the description which were a direct link and
advertisement for a vendor.

A more generic message such as this would be fine and +1'd by me:

The RBL responded with a failure code.  Visit www.spamassassin.org/rbl for more
information.
