We are using RSS.  The online documentation is slightly out of date.

The people running RSS will only add a host to the RSS if it has
actually relayed spam.  And they will usually be willing to remove the
host from the RSS if the site administrator gives them a firm commitment
that the open relay will soon be closed.  Also, if after 12 weeks no
repeat spam has been relayed from a host, it is automatically removed
from the RSS, even if the site administrator does nothing.

We also provide the username@bypass.us.com escape mechanism, that lets
you bypass such filtering.  However, if you need to use it, it usually
means you are dealing with some bigger problem that needs to be
addressed.
