I remember there is a URL for reputation scores of all kinds of domains.
But I can't find it for now. Can you anybody know that? (it's maybe a
url maintained by spamhaus).

It is worth noting that the Spamhaus list measures something that is not really useful from a spam detection standpoint: the absolute share of spam from various TLDs. They have a huge diverse collection of data sources and can measure that reasonably well. It is interesting but that high-level view of All Spam is not particularly useful for determining whether a specific message is spam. The SA list is maintained based on the share of the mail from a TLD which is known to be spam, based on our contributors' mail streams. That is a metric which is relevant to the decision of whether a specific message is spam.

As others have noted, using an explicit list of TLDs to reject in Postfix is not a great tactic, as that will always need monitoring for false positives which can be mostly mitigated by using a scoring spam detection system.
