John, acouple fo points to consider.
1. Exchange 5.5 does not have much shelf life left.
2. With the planning of putting in new hw/sw you could probably justify the
cost of migrating to E2K3, which RBL functionality built in. It goes on the
premise that if a user's SMTP is not registered in AD, then the mail is for
all practical purposes treated as SPAM and discarded. Plus some neat
features are coming with E2K3 SP1.
