I think you have misunderstood how things work.

I would highly recommend you read either the manual or have a look through
the MAQ etc., You probably need to add in a few custom rulesets and SURBL
You DO NOT want to add lines in spam.list.conf as that won't have any direct
effect on your system's effectiveness and would only be of use if you were
blocking based on DNS lists - something I would dissuade you from doing.
