This is not economically feasible. I'm a worker ant, and this isn't
exactly one server. The problem is that ALL IPs here are RBLs.

Absolutely. Not RBL'd, but saturated.

Seems so easy, doesn't it?
That works until DNS dies, then the relayed messages, instead of getting
temporary DNS type errors, get "Cannot Validate" 5xx errors with nasty
returns and customers don't get their receipts, lost passwords, etc.
