Where does sendmail "default" to using the MAPS RBL? Not a single
"default" mc file contains any reference to it:
$ grep dnsbl /usr/local/src/sendmail-8.12.0.Beta17/cf/cf/*.mc
$
It must be explicitly enabled with the FEATURE(dnsbl) rule in your
sendmail.mc file.
Try to connects facts and reality before making statements like that,
ok? Unless, of course, you work in M$'s FUD department, in which
case, its part of the job description, and understandable.
