Dnsbls are kind of *online* databases. DNS is used to query these. As
the included information changes frequently, it wouldn't make much sense
to put anything in /etc/hosts. If you had read the given informations,
you would have known that. The only measure to deal with amounts >

So postfix seems to use another configuration file than you expect it to
use. You may try to issue 'postconf config_directory' to find out.
