People with high accuracy requirements would disagree with you. For some
people, including me, false positive rates for straight RBL rejection
are unacceptable. I simply can't use straight RBL rejection. Not an
option.

Rejecting the mail after the spamassassin scan is MUCH more accurate
than rejecting based on RBLs alone. And it's definitely a lot better
than letting all the spam through. Sure, you don't get any bandwidth
advantage, but when a false positive could cost you $thousands, the
bandwidth is a lot less important than the accuracy.

So, it's not useless.
