There is a teensy bit of colateral damage, but not so much that I worry about it. Here in ZA, our USP traffic provider (Teleglobe) uses RBL, thus absolving us of the responsibility. Since we started getting this "cleanfeed", spam has dropped dramatically. What I particularly enjoy about the RBL is its strong sense of the need to listen to its client base, and to adapt as necessary. Paul Vixie has a high degree of respect, as a consequence.
