Actually, only the decent mail servers do this.  The RBL does nothing
except respond to DNS queries (and provide decent data in the TXT RR).
It is up to the mail server to give that data back in the bounce.
Most do this, but there are some (worthless) ones that don't give any
useful data in the bounce.
