In reference to using rblsmtpd and the other spam prevention tools listed
below, I was wondering whether these programs give one the option of
specifying a system or configuration file, rather than a computer server, as
the means by which the list of known spam relays is obtained.

... AFAIK relays.osirusoft.com is a collection of lists which already
includes 
spews.osirusoft.com (aka www.spews.org) thus if you use the former then
there 
is no need to use the latter.

I would just like to say that you should review SPEWS' listing policy very 
carefully before you decide to use them. We have been innocent victims of 
their strongarm tactics on more than one occasion. You may want to look at 
www.antispews.org as well -- although both spews and antispews look like 
dodgy outfits to me :)
