What's your IP address and which DNSBLs (RBL is a trademark of MAPS LLC) are you referring to?
In fact it _is_ MAPS LLC.
Launch wget with an invalid URL once per second to put my removal request in their httpd log?
That's abusive; don't do it.
I consider it abusive to block my legitimate mail from getting through, so what.
Reciprocally blocking their domain from delivering here?
That's fine: your mail server, your rules. However, if they did eventually make a query regarding your removal request, you probably wouldn't want to reject it.
Of course, but it seems that they are ignoring my removal request anyway.

You dont really have much of a choice. You're in the customer pool of IP addresses for your ISP. Those IP blocks are usually the ones blocked by the DNSRBLs.
You have two choices here:
1) Set up a smarthost so that your mail server relays through your ISP's mail server
-or-
2) Live with your emails getting blocked.
