Generally, those using dsbl.org lists to block or reject mail for
or on behalf of large organisations tend to so only on the basis of
list.dsbl.org, and not multihop.dsbl.org & unconfirmed.dsbl.org.

dsbl.org themselves say:
 
   Note that the multihop and unconfirmed lists are very
   aggressive and have the potential for a high level of
   false positives. In our opinion these lists are best used
   as part of a scoring system, such as spamassassin and not
   for outright blocking of email.
