Newer patches are no longer so picky about the tab separation. See

I think that should be -b 127.0.0.2. If the message gets delivered you
know that the rbl file was parsed succesfully.

Depends on the rbl list. If the have a default bad entry for 127.0.0.2
then yes you should either get a 550 error or a X-RBL header in the mail.

Normaly it is the simplest to start qmail-smtp from your shell with the
tcp-environ(5) needed values set. Tcp-environ(5) is a man file delivered
with qmail. Normaly it is enough to set TCPLOCALIP, TCPREMOTEIP and RBL
for testing.
