I use two of these as well, and in the same order, but I found ordb.org 
too ineffective when I tested several RBLs some years ago. My "second" RBL 
is safe.sorbs.net.

too agressive in my eyes, but certainly effective.

That doesn't surprise me, 5 of them are not on DNS and the first domain 
belongs to a domain grabber it seems. What RBL lookup do you use? It seems 
to be unreliable. There *are* RBLs which just list *every* IP they don't 
have business with, but the above don't belong in this category, they are 
just dead.
I recommend using this one:
