Im using the SBL and XBL with qmail. Look at your logs. My log entries for
qmail-smtpd look like this:

17:28:21.303453500 rblsmtpd: 222.64.60.134 pid 32206: 451 http://www.spamhaus.org/SBL/sbl.lasso?query=SBL19306

This shows a connection from 222.64.60.134 generating a 451 response - so
the IP is listed in the SBL and the URL gives you more info on this
spammer.
