It can't hurt to add the rule.  Then people using RBL checks in exim can
turn off the rbl checks in SA and automatically get the benefit of the
rule w/out having to compose their own rule.  I guess the only possible
problem is where people don't turn off SA RBL checking and so messages
get a double score because they hit the Exim header rule, and then also
fail the RBL tests.
