If you meant NJABL, they've been gone longer than TRBL, 2013-03-01

First, thanks for the detailed and insightful reply. Exactly the type of
feedback I was hoping for.

And yep - njabl IS what I meant, and I've yanked them. :)

I also do that. Any thoughts on these settings which I currently use?

reject_rbl_client b.barracudacentral.org,
 reject_rbl_client zen.spamhaus.org,
 reject_rbl_client bl.spamcop.net,
 reject_rbl_client psbl.surriel.com,
 reject_rhsbl_client dbl.spamhaus.org,
 reject_rhsbl_sender dbl.spamhaus.org,
 reject_rhsbl_helo dbl.spamhaus.org,
