SpamAssassin looks up a lot more DNSBLs than typical for an MTA,
including many that aren't accurate enough to reject mail but are good
for scoring. I'd leave the DNSBL lookups in general on, but just turn
off the specific ones you're already rejecting on.

The easiest way to do that, as I understand, is to simply set the score
for the specific DNSBLs you're using in postfix to 0, i.e.

 score RCVD_IN_SBL 0

etc.
