Hi,
Not everyone is running a dedicated mail server. My server is an
everything-server running on a hosted VPS that only has a few "users"
that get significant amounts of email. I'm not sure I want another
daemon that can break or take up clock cycles and memory on a system
processing 10 spams / hour (of which the DNSBL service might catch
2?). At least not yet, but I suppose I could change my mind. At the
moment not that many spams are getting through.

You asked for help, we provided it. It's fine if you ignore the advice,
but it's good advice if you want to take your mail filtering to the next
level in the future.
And it's not just for mail filtering. Unless you have the smallest of
systems, it's good general practice to implement a caching name server
for authentication, the email system itself, and general queries from
other services as well.
Regards,
Alex
