this is true if you're using BGP4 to implement the RBL. if you're using the
DNS version (which is what i use), there are no documents to sign that i'm
aware of; you just point your MTA at the RBL DNS host (if your MTA supports
the RBL) and go.

ethical sysadmins/isps, of course, inform their users of the RBL regardless.
