Mailinabox handles all of that automatically and nicely.
You just need to do some manual DNS work and check your IP against blacklists on http://multirbl.valli.org/ - and mostly done.
I think part of the point of the post and the PDF to which it links is that Gmail and the other big operators don't use the blacklists, so for deliverability to the majority of recipients it makes no difference whether you are or are not on those lists.
Example of how the blacklists contain essentially no information: every one of Gmail's outbound VIPs is in a SORBS blacklist. Every one I checked is in at least 20 other blacklists. So if you just don't want to get mail from hundreds of millions of people, subscribe to IP blacklists.
That's not true, unless "VIP" means something that I don't understand.
I use SORBS on a rather busy mail server with thousands of messages sent to and from Gmail daily. Aside from very occasional SORBS rejections, which happen more often with Outlook.com and Yahoo, this simply isn't the case.
Post a Gmail outbound VIP that is not in a SORBS blacklist, then, if you're so sure.
Whatever the opposite of a disclaimer is: I was the tech lead of gmail delivery SRE for four years, so it's likely that I know more about this topic than anyone on this board.
