first: if postscreen/postfix reject based on RBL score
the message don't make it to SA at all and in case of
a proper configured postscreen even not to smtpd

second: that's the reason for a local resolver: caching

third: URI blacklists are hardly the same request

but it must not forward to another DNS like your ISP's
or Google 8.8.8.8 - it has to do *recursion* so that
the summary of your DNS requests and from other users
not appear as a lot from the same IP on the SOA

forwarding resolvers on a mailserver are general a bad idea

* if your ISP fucks up and responds no longer with NXDOMAIN
  by try to redirect websurfers to one of his pages you
  mailservices are in real danger

* most open resolvers are unstable and if it don't repsond
  properly from time to time mail otherwise blocked by
  DNSBL/URIBL slips through the filters

* in the worst case you make a lot of more DNS requests
  to the WAN because you get the TTL from the resolver
  and if it is short before expire, well, if you ask the
  SOA you get always the full TTL
