I do, but SpamCop is not one of them.  SpamCop's RBL is fine to 
use with SpamAssassin to add a little to the score, but it has 
far too many false positives to use in for all-or-nothing 
blocking at the MTA level.

Note that the SpamCop folks themselves advise against using the 
list for blocking:
