It's just that you said they monitor the number of "dns queries". Now by bypassing a query for the DNS I can put it locally on my machine so no queries for the DNS goes out to the net. Whatever I removed the line from /etc/hosts for testing but it still doesn't seem to work.
Dnsbls are kind of *online* databases. DNS is used to query these. As the included information changes frequently, it wouldn't make much sense to put anything in /etc/hosts. If you had read the given informations, you would have known that. The only measure to deal with amounts > 300000 queries a day is to buy the commercial rsync feed.
postconf -n doesn't show the zen but I have it in my config.
So postfix seems to use another configuration file than you expect it to use. You may try to issue 'postconf config_directory' to find out.
