Keeping known email abusers out is always desired. Postfix has a parameter which is specified in the main.cf file that allows you to refer to these lists.
The script I use is as follows…
smtpd_client_restrictions =
permit_mynetworks
permit_sasl_authenticated
reject_unauth_pipelining
reject_rbl_client cbl.abuseat.org
reject_rbl_client dnsbl.ahbl.org
reject_rbl_client dnsbl.sorbs.net
reject_rbl_client list.dsbl.org
reject_rbl_client sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org
#reject_rhsbl_client blackhole.securitysage.com
reject_rhsbl_client rhsbl.sorbs.net
permit
Note the commented out line
#reject_rhsbl_client blackhole.securitysage.com

.
quit
Along the way [...]

This is an SMTP server like the one your ISP provides. It is targeted at Windows users and sells as a faster and more flexible alternative.
