A DNSBL specificly for this purpose - now THAT is a solution I like, if it
works...

...but I don't think it does.

I'm under the impression that the address looked up during a RBL check is
the address of the connecting relay, NOT the address resolved for the domain
used in the "mail from" command.  Meaning a RBL check wouldn't help,
correct?
