SpamAssassin includes support for many of the bigger DNSBLs, with optimal scores (or at least, optimal as determined by the GeneticAlgorithm).

Support for these is built-in, and shipped in the default configuration.

+Note that it's extremely important to compare false positive rates (nonspam messages marked as spam), as well as spam hit-rates, when evaluating any anti-spam system, include DNS blocklists. (For example, a blocklist that returned a match for every single mail would 'catch all the spam', but would also mark every nonspam mail too.) Some of the above pages omit this information, so take with a pinch of salt.
