You need the -r which means to use as a rejection list -a is a white list 
(don't run through an rbl).  I don't have any problems using multiple lines 
when entering then in the blacklists file... putting it directly into the 
smtp/run file without a \ on the end of the line would be foolish though.

Use the qmail-inject line I sent last time to test your email...it'll show 
you where it's failing.

Yes, that looks good.

Just spaces between each entry. No commas, only space(s).

Don't put them on separate lines.
