OK -- so it's less useful, but you "Can" use it ...
Of course, demon should be using the RBL on your behalf ...

No -- that would involve poking around in untrustable things like "Received:"
lines of poorly defined format -- not the thing to do !
If demon won't bounce based on the RBL, get them at least to add
X-RBL: and then look for those -- I doubt very much whether anyone
would add those "by mistake" ....
