If any of the dos'ed to death rbls really want's to get back at the spammers
it's easy. Write software that allows any ISP or business to use their mail
servers and their customers/employees (via a foward to address) to maintain
their own highly dynamic blacklist.

Blacklists are just one kind of filter. If we could load software that
allowed us to forward spams caught by other filters into it and it
maintained a DNS blacklist we could have our servers use, we wouldn't need
big public rbl's, everyone doing any kind of mail volume could easily run
their own IF THE SOFTWARE WAS AVAILABLE. A distributed solution for a
distributed problem.

Resistance is NOT futile.
