Many qmail users use rblsmtpd.

Apparently you have not understood the purpose of RBL and lists like it
(and the purpose of rblsmtpd to use them).
The RBL is a list of IP addresses that belong to known spammers or spam
supporters. RSS is a list of mailservers that are open to relay and have
relayed actual spam. DUL is a list op dialup IP-addresses that should be
sending email through their providers mail server.
What rblsmtpd does with this is to check if $TCPREMOTEIP (the ip address of
the SMTP client connecting to your mailserver) is on the lists you have
configured. If it is, it will not start qmail-smtpd, but instead carry out
a limited SMTP conversation just to (permanently or temporarily) reject
that particular email from that particular host.
This is what rblsmtpd does, and it is all rblsmtpd does. The addresses you
refer to (10.*) are private address space, so these addresses will never
appear on the rbl. In most rblsmtpd configurations, you will have your
local address space excluded from RBL checking.
It appears you think rblsmtpd would help you if a host inside your network
started spamming. It will not.
