Would a spammy email server only trigger one RBL?
Sure.
While mxtoolbox looks complete, there are more RBLs than on their
list. I never knew Trend Micro had a RBL.
Funny story: technically Trend Micro has the ONLY "RBL" because that's a
registered trademark. They bought that trademark along with all of the
other intellectual property and ongoing operations of Mail Abuse
Prevention Systems, L.L.C. ~15 years ago. MAPS was a not-for-profit
founded by Paul Vixie, who invented the DNSBL mechanism and ran the
first DNSBL: the Realtime Blackhole List, a.k.a. RBL.
As far as I can tell, the active defense of that trademark has been
almost invisible for over a decade, so while DNSBL is the formally
correct generic term, RBL may not even be legally defensible as a
trademark any more but one of the Trend Micro DNSBL's is actually named
RBL.
Spamrl.com is one I can't stay off of. They do honor their one week
reprieve. Like I said, I managed to get them removed from servers that
I communicate with. There are over a hundred RBLs. If one is a problem
child, dump it.
Pulled right from their website.

This thread is about spamrl.com, and no, I'm not a participant in the
thread.

Supposedly spamrl.com uses honeypots, which makes me wonder if a
prankster can spoof headers and spam the honeypots just to drum up
customers for commercial white lists.
The spamrl.com operation is just an alternative face for spamexperts.com
and one of their inputs is feedback from customers, who can report
errors in their filtering to spamrl.com addresses for mitigation.
