Aside from the blacklist sites, you might also want to set the following fields in the SMTP Inbound Controls, Inbound Relay section:
Deny messages to be sent to the following external internet domains: *
Deny messages from the following internet hosts to be sent to external internet domains: *
These two settings will prevent your SMTP server from being used as a spam distributor by someone else (had that happen with a client of mine recently).

Unfortunately, la Poste is a reliable source of spam and has been for some time. (See the spamcop site for details.) In other words, if you want to accept mail from la Poste, you have to take a lot of spam with it.
There is a high churn rate in DNSBLs and you need to keep up to date. To anyone reading this:
Do not attempt to use any DNSBL zone at monkeys.com. They were a DDoS casualty last year. Can’t remember whether Ronald (monkeys.com) did what osirusoft did (which was to answer positively for every IPv4 address as an incentive to people to stop using the dead zones), but even if he did not, there is really no point in querying monkeys.com lists.
For the very best view of the effectiveness of any of the 30 or so top DNSBLs, you should refer to OpenRBL:
You have to keep on top of them as they tend to disappear. You also have to test them out as some tend to be more agressive than others at blocking sites. The ones I use are listed below, the sorbs lists stop the most spam by far.
