Using RBLs/DNSBLs to score is a good idea, but blocking can be very
dangerous.
Spamcop - good in SURBL. Dodgy as hell as a block

XBL-SBL - overall is very good, but I see a lot of Irish ISPs ending up in
there all the time, so you really need to examine the scenario very
carefully.

In my case I have to be very cautious as we are handling mail for several
thousand users from over a thousand companies with very different email
profiles, so we cannot simply block mail from any source. We need to "weigh
it" very carefully

Just my two cents
