rblsmtpd -b -t 30 -r dnsbl.sorbs.net -r bl.spamcop.net -r combined.njabl.org

works a treat here

spamhaus seems to be working fine for me on two machines that handle
about 20,000 messages per day each.  The fact that I check spamhaus last
in my list may have something to do with why it still works for me
considering someone's comment that only "high volume" servers were being
blocked, whatever "high volume" means.

I have found that the following list of RBL's works extremely well and
use them all in this order on both of those machines:

bl.spamcop.net
spamsources.fabel.dk
list.dsbl.org
cbl.abuseat.org
sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org

It might be related to a network issue since queries seem to
be working fine on other email servers I checked.

But doesn't rblsmtpd need to do a DNS lookup to connect to the IP?

I use Matt Simerson's toaster-watcher.pl script to keep my rbl server
list 'live', and I still have sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org in my active list.

No, they are just blocking "high volume" servers in an effort to make 
you pay for the service.


Although one of my servers is under 2000 messages a day and it's blocked 
as well.
