Some blacklists are certainly better than others and they vary greatly,
so it's important to choose ones (or none) that fit your requirements.
Your configuration is up to you.
If there's anything in the spamdyke configuration you don't like (I'm
guessing you'll dislike graylisting as well), simply comment it out or
delete it. There's no need to restart or rebuild anything when you
modify the spamdyke configuration.

I don't like blacklists because of their generic behavior. I had many
scenarios when because of one zombie computer in the LAN, the whole LAN
is blacklisted. I don't want to mention the UCL lists, where for example
almost all IP-s from Romania are listed.
In my philosophy, not even one good email, should be rejected or
blocked, because of spam blocking policies. The email should be a
trusted service. When you send a mail, you should be positive the it
reaches its destination. I had plenty of bad experiences, especially
with corporations, that their mail server was so save, that you could
not send mails to them.
I want to be able to receive all emails and they should be filtered
according to its subject and content, not their source.
I never used spamdyke. Usually I prefer payed spam-filter, be it at
client side or the server side. As per your recommendation I'll install
it. Let's hope I'll have a pleasant surprise.
You guys, you make a terrific job with this Qmail Toaster project. Keep
up the good work!
Thank you for the solution!

rblsmtpd is the stock RBL (blacklist) processor.
I guess it doesn't run well with an empty parameter file. Who'd'a
thunk? ;)
Running w/out any RBL is unusual, as RBLs do catch a lot of spam.
Which RBLs work best for you is something you'll need to determine for
yourself.
If you really want to run with no RBLs, you can simply omit it from
the smtp/run file.
Personally, I would recommend installing spamdyke, which does RBL
processing in place of rblsmtpd. Changing the configuration for
spamdyke to not use RBLs is then a simple matter of commenting out a
few lines in the /etc/spamdyke/spamdyke.conf file. Spamdyke contains
many other anti-spam filters which are quite effective, and will
reduce the load on your server substantially. Spamdyke typically
rejects 80+% of spam, without even receiving it! It's pretty amazing.
