No, your starting point should be to not use an RBL if you don’t know what it 
is doing. Blacklisting a domain for not having a valid rDNS is something you 
can do right in postfix, without needing to reach out to an RBL.

reject_unknown_reverse_client_hostname or reject_unknown_client_hostname, but 
these have significant impact on some server for legitimate mail. You can 
search the archives (or google) for various discussions on these two settings, 
how they differ, and which you might want to use, if either.

Treating all replies from the RBLs as the same is, IMHO, a mistake.

This is what I have:

postscreen_dnsbl_threshold = 9
postscreen_dnsbl_sites = zen.spamhaus.org=127.0.0.[4..11]*9
    hostkarma.junkemailfilter.com=127.0.0.2*5
    zen.spamhaus.org=127.0.0.[2..3]*4
    hostkarma.junkemailfilter.com=127.0.0.3*2
    hostkarma.junkemailfilter.com=127.0.2.1*4
    hostkarma.junkemailfilter.com=127.0.2.2*2
    hostkarma.junkemailfilter.com=127.0.0.2*4
    hostkarma.junkemailfilter.com=127.0.1.2*4
    hostkarma.junkemailfilter.com=127.0.0.1*-4
    hostkarma.junkemailfilter.com=127.0.0.5*-2
    hostkarma.junkemailfilter.com=127.0.2.3*-2


For example, I score zen differently for 127.0.0.2-3 (much lower) than for 
4-11. (.2 is the SBL which hits more ‘false’ positives than the other for my 
mailstream and .3 is similar) while 4-11 are server that should never be 
sending mail (DHCP ISP machines, exploited servers, etc). 

I *do not* recommend you copy/paste these into your setup. For one thing, I 
haven’t evaluated them in quite a while since zen hits nearly everything that 
gets blocked, so I’m not really sure how the downstream ones are performing 
right now, but mostly because every server is a bit different.
