I'm not convinced that RBLs are effective anyway.
You just haven't received enough spam to convince you of their effectiveness. :-) Likewise, those who are convinced that greylisting doesn't work, just don't get enough spam from random bots, however, I don't recommend using greylisting unless its actually necessary. If only 5% of the connections coming into your server are from legitimate senders, then it is much easier to justify the delays that greylisting imposes.
