Because trusted_networks works better to avoid checking internal hosts.
It still works for 2.6x, though.  The documentation clearly explains
this.

It even says "It will be removed in a future version."

No, it is not disabled.

No, it would not address that issue.  num_check_received doesn't remove
the originating IP unless you set it to zero which is the same as
turning off RBLs entirely.  num_check_received sets how many IPs to
include, starting from the originating IP, which is going to be the same
one as those dynamic addresses.

If you have too many false positives for a blacklist, you can disable it
by setting the score to 0:

  score RCVD_IN_DYNABLOCK 0
  score RCVD_IN_NJABL_DIALUP 0

Specify that you trust those IP addresses (and the forwarding SMTP
server) to send you mail.  They shouldn't be checked by any RBLs then.
