Day before yesterday, I told Exim (the mail transfer agent I use for
all incoming mail) to add warning header to mail flagged by the RBL
so I could see the effects.

Since then, I've received three personal spams, none of which were
flagged. Grepping through a couple thousand pieces of mail-archive
mail, exactly one message was flagged. The message was legit, and the
warning was against an open relay way up the foodchain -- on the
originator's computer. In my ideal world, RBL would be flagging
blacklisted listservers.

So it's probably too small a statistical universe to make a
conclusion, but so far, RBL is a complete flop.
