I would think blocking domains is worse than the RBL lists. I have started using an email gateway called messagewall.
It has a number of checks included rbl lists, reverse DNS on MX records and a lot more. Since implementing this setup our spam has become almost no existent and is no longer considered a problem. (I still get one or two a day). I may be wrong, but a lot of spam claims to be from one domain, but isn't really. Making sure that the mail comes form where it claims to have originated is the best way. I gave up on Spam Assassin and those types of programs because it seemed to Be a losing battle.
