Well, Scott - I actually already had the Osirusoft RBL's
fully disabled in Spamassassin, as they are also the people
who brought us SPEWS. As a matter of policy, I won't use an
RBL that doesn't either have a simple and direct way for
someone to request delisting and removal, or automatically
expire listings within a short time. And I certainly won't
use an RBL that expands listings beyond the specific IP
causing the problem.

I'm very happy using Spamhaus and Spamcop in conjunction
with SA -- these two do the job quite well.
