Their listings are fairly accurate-- if postmaster@ or abuse@ doesn't work for a domain, then listing them is perfectly correct, but the question is what that means.
It's probably better to use rfc-ignorant RBLs for scoring purposes, rather than as an absolute pass/fail test, even if you whitelist popular domains.
Their "rules" don't make sense anymore in 2012, for example: they have blacklisted all .be, .eu, .dk, (and many more) addresses because the direct whois doesn't reveal the email data of the registrant.
Internet domains are public (by definition): it's perfectly reasonable to expect there to exist a published point of contact available via WHOIS.
That said, I also do not care for the notion of blacklisting entire TLDs...
