With ORDB.org no longer in use has anyone found another RBL to replace it with?

Currently I am using Spamcop.net, spamhaus.org, dnsrbl.net, njabl.org, and dsbl.org

I am seeing more spam slipping through lately with not much of an increase in the amount of incoming mail.  I have the bayesian filter threshold set at 98.643%.  Is there a better % I could set this at and still catch relatively few good emails?

Matt - FYI:  we have lowered our bayes to 40% without increasing our false positive rate.  We too have seen an increase in the amount of spam getting past the filter, so started lowering the Bayes about 5% per day.  %40 seemed like a good place to stop.~.
