There are whitelist DNSBLs.

There can certainly be DNSBLs designed to make some mail more likely
to be accepted, and other mail less likely.  There are certainly
DNSBLs with information that some sites use to accept more, and
others use to reject more (e.g. country-code).

There are DNSBLs that exist to prove a point, and the intent of the
lister is not to have any sort of usage (nofalsenegatives,
nofalsepositives, noprimes).
