Hi Ram,
A few suggestions, some of which have been mentioned already:

1.  Set up a local rbldnsd zone file with your own blacklist
as content:

  http://www.surbl.org/rbldnsd-bind-freebsd.html
  http://njabl.org/rsync.html

That can be useful if you have multiple SpamAssassin servers as
they can then reference a single zone.  Be sure to make the name
of the zone local or internal, i.e., a subdomain of a domain
you contorol. 

2.  Report spams to SpamCop.  Any new domains that resolve into
major spammer's networks get blacklisted on sc.surbl.org within
minutes.

Hope this helps,

Jeff C.
