In your case with a low volume server with no load at all I think it's a
big risk to use RBLs in Sendmail. You should have them in SA instead for
more accurate results. Only with a higher load you need to cut spam
earlier in the process.

Weren't you looking into Vispan? It sorts all SA traps, including RBLs.
Spamcop and SBL-XBL are my two best ones.
