Abbreviation: “Realtime Blackhole List”. A service that allows people to blacklist sites for emitting spam, and makes the blacklist available in real time to electronic-mail transport programs that know how to use RBL so they can filter out mail from those sites. Drastic (and controversial) but effective. There is an RBL home page.

RBL is an initialism for:

• RB Leipzig, a german football club
• Route-based localization, is an inflexible way of localizing a robot, but highly reliable
• Royal British Legion
