Alas, these RBLs are often hard-coded into firewalls. Non-sophisticated users just think they have a check box saying 
"block spam". Fixing those IS hard.

If you're going to run a DNSBL to advertise your mail software,

On the other hand if you're going to use DNSBLs, you really should do
the tests in RFC 5782 every once in a while so you stop using BLs that
don't exist any more.  It's not hard.
