2) How important is it that you even accept connections from *anywhere* in

That depends...

Do you sell "Internet service"  to you customers or something else. If
the former then they're actually paying to receive connections from
anywhere...

Then the RBL is irrelevant, as "anywhere" isn't the same as "anywhere that
isn't in an RBL".  :)

(And anyhow, I'd *hope* that any use of an RBL to filter things on behalf of
a customer was spelled out in the contract, at least in the fine print that
most Joe Sixpacks never bother reading, specifically to cover that issue...)
