This sort of thing is why I would rather use any RBL within
SpamAssassin, rather than at SMTP delivery time. Even if one of these
services goes completely belly up and blacklists the world, I don't
automatically lose mail from it.
Also, for Vassilii - you use the SpamCop blacklists. That is something
that I would be very nervous of. They have some pretty liberal policies
about what they accept, and their automatic tools are not that great at
filtering out innocent parties...
