The mail will still be fetched but will be discarded by your local MTA before dumping it in you local mailbox. In principle, it would be better to have the system you are fetching the mail from do the RBL operations, but if you don't have control over it then you really don't get much choice. I'm using this setup myself and it works, but it offends my aesthetic sense. OTOH, I'm easily offended!
