This is happening because relays.mail-abuse.org has stopped providing TXT
records for listed IP addresses; they're providing only an A record now.
rblsmtpd relies on the existence of a TXT record.
There's a patch at http://www.cqc.com/~pacman/projects/rblsmtpd-rss/ that
allows rblsmtpd to use an A record.
This is what motivated me to mirror RSS with an rbldns-powered server. I've got
it up and running on one of my boxes; I'm using it locally, and it's working
just fine. rbldns has no problems at all with the size of the zone (which is
reportedly the reason mail-abuse.org has stopped providing the TXT records).
Unfortunately, I'm not free to make this public.
