One point on the use of this: If you use RBL's and the user is on a dynamic
block, there is a good chance the mail won't get through even using the
recommendations Michael made.  I am on Comcast, and because it is in the
block of dynamically assigned IPs, some RBL's won't allow my mail through
unless I list the Comcast IP in the relay for this IP settings.
