I was specifically talking about querying a DNSBL with possible-forged IP 
addresses, not creating new listings or anything else.

That wasn't clear.

Anyway, you normally only look up the IP of the gateway host that sent the mail from their network to yours. Relays before that are often from hosts on dialup lists like the PBL, which is fine for intra-network relays, and means you'll mark legit mail as spam.
