  RBL lists are a good idea, but the thing has get so bad that I've 
stoped using it.
   Some of them consider spam all mail comming from the whole ADSL IP 
addresses, so I was forced (not much time ago) to use my ISP as the 
relay of all outgoing mail, because one of our customers were using one 
of those RBL that told them not to accept our mail.
   BTW, bounced mail (unknown user xxx) remembers me a hell we had few 
years ago.. when we were still using a Solaris machine and fetching mail 
via dialup UUCP. The machine was in an endless transaction of receiving 
bounced mail error messages (someone was sending spam using our adress, 
so we were receiving all bounces). The phone bill was considerable, and 
the relay bill was really impressive. We didn't pay the bill, and we 
switched to another ISP. That ISP doens't even exist right now, they ran 
out of cash :)
