Thank you for the replies. According to my checks, Spamhaus Zen and other RBL 
block only a few of the IP addresses used by those services, probably the ones 
who tried to verify the existence of a spam trap address.
However there are other postmasters with the same pain who privately collect IP 
addresses and domains of those services. Maybe I'll get around to compile them 
into a clean list and share them.
