So - if I wanted to set up my own RBL for others to query me, how
would I do that? I'm seriously thinking about it. Alternatively, I can
stream my spam to anyone else who is already doing it. I've modified
my spam stream to exclude stuff already listed in several other
popular block lists.
(Sorry for the late answer; long weekend).
I set one up using the following instructions:

The setup described uses bind instead of a dedicated dnsbl app. The
only down side is it can create some large bind logs if you get a
decent* amount of traffic.
Fun note:
One cool thing with using a dnsbl is that you can put "interesting"
messages in the txt record that get passed back to the sender. Messages
like: "While I too am a fan of Monty Python, and do enjoy the spam
sketch, I don't enjoy spam, spam, email and spam. Goodbye."
*decent: more than a trickle and less than lots.
