The above is exactly the reason (well not the only reason), that we now use Qmail instead of sendmail. I never liked the idea of someone else, with an agenda that I'm sure doesn't coinside with mine, telling me who I should talk to or not. When the source code defaulted to using these "services" that's when I bailed on sendmail.
Hmm... so you went to all the trouble of converting to qmail instead of actually finding out what was going on? Yes, qmail is probably a better choice if you can't be bothered to read the documentation enough to understand that *if* you specify a 'dnsbl' feature *yourself*, but forget to provide a DNS server name, it will suggest one for you.
