Hi Jeff,
I use black hole lists here. I added a feature for each list I want to 
use to sendmail.mc, like so:

dnl Begin Blackhole lists
FEATURE(`dnsbl', `relays.ordb.org', `Rejected - see http://ordb.org/')dnl
FEATURE(dnsbl,`bl.spamcop.net', `Rejected - see: 
http://spamcop.net/bl.shtml?$&{client_addr}')dnl
FEATURE(dnsbl, `blackholes.mail-abuse.org', `Rejected - see  
http://www.mail-abuse.org/rbl/')dnl
FEATURE(`delay_checks')dnl
dnl End Blackhole lists

I haven't had too many complaints about legitimate mail being bounced, 
though there have been a few. I has helped reduce spam, though. Note that 
I am running a private server, and don't have customers to complain. Some 
of the black hole lists are more extensive than others as well. Using 
those lists is more likely to result in legitimate mail being bounced.
