I doubt there is much use in using more than two or three RBLs. I did some research on that some years ago and found that any RBL after the second didn't add much more rejections. We use only three and the third is just there because I was too lazy to remove it yet. Assess what you actually get from your RBLs and remove those that add less than 5% to your rejections. If you want to be safe, then use rbl+xbl.Spamhaus only. It is safe *and* effective. If you add any other you risk getting false positives. That is in the nature of RBLs and there is no reason to complain about that fact or any of these RBLs. If you do that you don't understand the basic principle behind them.
