True, but even murphy was in relays.osirusoft.com recently.  I noticed
because I have exim checking it in "warn" mode (it merely adds a
header to the mail and logs it in the log).

It is better to use the RBLs in a scoring fashion (as SA allows).
Then you can reject the mail iff it has more than one warning sign.
For example, if the host is in 5 RBLs and it has other content that is
spamish, go ahead and reject it.  If the host happens to be in one RBL
but has no other signs of spam, then maybe it really is legit.
