I know that but I choose to use the "traditional" method in the Postfix
smtpd_recipient_restrictions so I can specify the order.  I have such a
high volume of mail for more than 100,000 mailboxes, I want to check
in a specific order using my local rbldnsd feed to prevent abuse of other
RBLs further down the list.
If this were my personal mail filtering then I would use postscreen the
same way you do.

It still makes sense to keep some reliable RBL checks in SA to catch outbound
spam from authenticated users.  You do want to filter outbound mail to
keep your mail servers off of RBLs from compromised accounts.  I use a
few custom rules to subtract a little from outbound mail but it's not completely
trusted.
