You need to do a bit more than that! The DNSBLs in your config don't kick
in until RCPT time, so you need to run through a sample SMTP session up to
that stage. Try:

HELO blah

<wait for response; should be 2xx>

MAIL FROM:<some.valid@address>

<wait for response; should be 2xx>

RCPT TO:<some.user@???>

The response should be 5xx if the IP address you are using to test is
listed in one of the DNSBLs you are using.
