I know of:

a) RBL - Realtime BlackList - rbl.maps.vix.com

b) Teergrube - ftp://ftp.infodrom.north.de/pub/unix/network/mail/teergrube/

c) Yelll - ftp://ftp.infodrom.north.de/pub/unix/network/mail/yelll

d) planix' hosts.deny - somewhere at planix.com

e) Igor's Debian blacklist /etc/tcpserver/badmail or converted to teergrube
   ftp://ftp.infodrom.north.de/pub/unix/network/mail/teergrube/teergrube.delay.debian

f) Some procmail rules - check the procmail-list archive at
   ftp://ftp.infodrom.north.de/pub/usenet/mailing-lists/procmail*

Except for f they are all IP based.
