I agree.  However, I have found their DUL.DNSBL.SORBS.NET blocklist to be handy.  They only list those if they're volunteered by an authority, or there has been spam from the class-C AND the PTR record reads like a dynamic IP (ie, contains dyn)

I’d be careful with sorbs. They appear to be on autopilot and have thousands of tickets in queue just to get a response from them for anything and they don’t have an automatic removal mechanism, nor a functional manual removal mechanism when I tried it. Many false positives will likely occur as a result. At the very least, if you use it, just stamp messages instead of rejecting emails.
