-r sbl.spamhaus.org is the list in blacklists
That's ok for minimal checking. zen.spamhaus.org would be a little
tighter, as it combines the sbl.spamhaus.org, xbl.spamhaus.org and
pbl.spamhaus.org lists into one. See http://www.spamhaus.org for details
on these RBLs.
btw, i am using djbdns localcache as per qmailtoaster wiki doc, at
present i stopped it and using my ISP's dns server ip in my resolv.conf.
Will this be the reason for rdns?
Which DNS server you use for resolution has nothing to do with rDNS.
I don't use djbdns (I use caching-nameserver and bind-chroot packages
instead) so I can't be much help debugging your djbdns setup if it has
problems. I do know that you can test to see if it's working by doing:
# dig @127.0.0.1 google.com
while your djbdns is running. You should get back:

The SERVER line tells you which server provided the answer to your
inquiry (in this case your localhost DNS server).
If your DNS resolver (djbdns in your case) is working ok, you can change
your /etc/resolv.conf to include:
nameserver 127.0.0.1
as the first nameserver listed in the file. You should probably leave
your ISP's DNS server(s) listed afterwards, as they'd be tried should
your djbdns resolver have a problem. If that happens, your DNS and mail
flow will become sluggish.
if i start djbdns by
/etc/init.d/djbdns start and use 127.0.0.1 in resolv.conf, will it sends
the mails globally?
There should be no functional difference between using djbdns and
127.0.0.1 vs your ISP's DNS resolver(s), provided both resolvers are
working properly. Using djbdns will help your QMT server to run a little
faster is all.
my route points to my firewall device.
As it should.
