Of course, it would be still nicer if rblcheck read
%{_sysconfdir}/rblcheckrc and ~/.rblcheckrc itself rather than using a
wrapper script, but that would a fair bit of work.

The monkeys.com lists are all defunct. Ron has stopped maintaining them.
I believe the same applies to dev.null.dk.
And *.dorkslayers.com.
Maybe some of the others too; I'd check them out. Don't just check that
the DNS servers return results; check out the websites. These lists come
and go quite regularly.
The following lists are specified multiple times:
-s bl.spamcop.net
-s dnsbl.njabl.org
-s list.dsbl.org
-s multihop.dsbl.org
-s opm.blitzed.org
-s relays.ordb.org
-s unconfirmed.dsbl.org
Please don't include my private lists - it might cripple my DSL link:
-s dialups.city-fan.org
-s relays.city-fan.org
-s spammers.city-fan.org
Should be added:
-s xbl.spamhaus.org

I'll bear that in mind :-)

- docbook-utils is needed for the docs directory.
