I'll implement it when I have a spare moment. I changed my mind. Senderbase is an index of reported or otherwise collected spam. They do not have reliable numbers for non-spam email. If you click on the [SB] link at the bottom end of the "spam reports vs email volume" chart, you'll see that every IP in that block is listed in 2-3 RBLs. Using the opposite end of chart I pull my data from, you can see there is almost no data, and one of the three IPs is listed in two RBLs. I see no useful data in any configuration here. Best to stick with DNSWL. Maybe also use some other whitelists too, but be careful; some whitelists are rather generous (ASPATH and RDNS simply verify real live servers rather than trustworthiness. See http://openrbl.org/client/#213.144.132.251 (good entry) versus http://openrbl.org/client/#212.76.37.150 (bad entry) and click on the hits' corresponding wiki pages. I won't use whitelisting services that charge entrants for listing based on the simple principle that it's akin to extortion: "pay us for whitelisting or your mail won't get through!"
