Speaking of trolling, you've hooked me.  I will rise to the bait and beg to 
differ.  While I know that others on this list disagree, I'd be more 
inclined to say that the use of RBLs is universally misguided at best.

You don't have to agree with me, you don't even have to acknowledge that 
some mail admins think they cause to much collateral damage to be worth 
using.  I happen to think that these services are not the universal 
necessity that you're suggesting.

However, I suggest that the same skepticism properly used to evaluate the 
claims of tobacco scientists be applied to those who say 'we're going to 
block mail for you, but it's only going to be mail you don't want'.  You 
might find that that position isn't such a great troll after all.
