I use RBL and other mechanism here with great success and with 0 false positive 
rate (related to RBLs) since years. But I am not trusting one single RBL. Never 
ever would I do that! I would suggest you to look for something like 
policyd-weight and/or postfwd and combine a bunch of RBL/RHBL/WHL and other 
mechanism to mitigate the failure of one single lookup list.
