Ha ha. No. The EFF has an excellent analysis on why this and RBLs are
bad:

I have a sneaking suspicion that IPv6 is more of a reality then the
Internet adapting a djb written standard.
The Internet Research Task Force (IRTF) has a working group that is
trying to work out a flexible way of combating spam and letting
legitimate email get through.

I currently use procmail + bogofilter which gets a good percentage of
the spam that I receive. The beauty of it is the more spam you get the
less you have to look at.

Even if you use spam filtering tools don't redirect your email to
/dev/null. You never know if a legitimate piece of mail is getting
tossed into the bitbucket.
