blackholes.mail-abuse.org is no longer free so unless you have a 
contract with MAPS that entry won't be working.

A free alternative 'spam-source' DNSBL is the SBL: sbl.spamhaus.org
(see http://www.spamhaus.org/sbl/sbl-faqs.lasso for info on it)

There are a couple of others you may wish to investigate. I find the 
best setup is to use 3 DNSBLs: one for spam-source, one for open 
relays and one for dial-ups (or one for open SOCKS proxies).
