Most of the RBL's in existence are IP-address based (you look up an IP
address in the list and it tells you if it thinks it is an open relay).
However, there are also lists in which you look up a domain *name* and it
tells you if it is known to be a source of spam. Most people don't use the
"spam domain" list at all, just the "spam lists" option.

The original message is stored in the quarantine as far as possible, so you
can retrieve the untouched message. This is "by design".
