Sorry; I'm a newbie and don't understand the problem.

1. If I want to install a black list, I'd expect to find it as a 
configuration option.

2. I don't see any configuration items specifically titled "DNSBL"; 
closest option seems to be local-data:

# You can override certain queries with
# local-data: "adserver.example.com A 127.0.0.1"


3. This request simply blocks external replies that resolve to private 
addresses; how could some external name server legitimately resolve to a 
127/8 address within my computer?

At any rate, if it is a configuration alternative, the local 
administrator could determine whether it would be advantageous or 
problematic.

Thank you for considering this!
