Mebbe its time for some remedial search engine lessons?

Using "RBL" as the search.

http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&q=rbl
First response is "MAPS Realtime Blackhole List", with a total of 175,000
results returned.

Your little erotica stuff is 4th on the list.

Now, since we're talking email, a reasonably intelligent person might make
the assumption that the search term should be:
"rbl email" or "rbl e-mail"

The former terms take it down to 28,500 results, and within the top 5 is one
called "RBL - Power Without Accountability"

The latter returns 23,300 results, the first being "Mail Abuse Prevention
System LLC"
