Spamcop is what I use. I recommend it. I also respectfully demand that
for whatever list you use, you reject it WITHOUT mentioning the
blackhole list. It's not the list's fault that you decided to use their
listings as grounds for rejection, they don't need flak properly
directed at you. Furthermore, be sure you have exceptions so mandatory
recipients like postmaster and abuse always accept whether or not the
sending host is listed in a BL or your site will get listed in
rfc-ignorant.org's blacklists around the first time someone who is aware
of rfc-ignorant.org tries to report a mail problem or network abuse.

Dorkslayers is dead, AFAIK.

I use it on a 30-user hobby server with users almost exclusively in
North America. Your mileage may vary with a larger server.

Linux. You can find a worse OS, but it costs more.
