Derek,
I see a number of problems with the text you copied in
there, it's very confusing. Here's the questions and issues:
1) On line 2, you're calling rblsmtpd and having it call
rblsmtpd, which then calls rblsmtpd for a third time on
line 3. The first instance doesn't even have arguments so
I have no idea why you're doing that. Combine all of those
into one rblsmtpd with multiple -r arguments for all the
servers to test against.
2) Did you actually pay MAPS for use of their mail-abuse.org
servers? They started charging on August 1st so you are
not going to have much luck using them to block spam if you
aren't paying them.
3) You will need to call rblsmtpd with a -C argument to
allow email through if it can't do the lookups against
the servers you specify. This is the default so having it
or not is okay.
Dave

Subject: rblsmtpd and mail-abuse.org's DNS servers
Hi, I'm having a problem with my qmail smtpd server becoming unresponsive
when rblsmtpd cannot communiate with the RBL nameservers. Has anyone else
had this problem? I'd like to blindy accept e-mail if the RBL nameservers
cannot be contacted. Here's how I'm starting the SMTP server:
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -u 7791 -g 2108 -v 0 smtp
fixcrio /usr/local/bin/rblsmtpd -t 7 /usr/local/bin/rblsmtpd -t 7 -r
dialups.mail-abuse.org /usr/local/bin/rblsmtpd -t 7 -r
