Postfix - Spam Control Where is my config wrong?

Hello,

I am running postfix on a linux server for a small ISP. Today I started using RBL's for spam control (I wanted to use reverse DNS but it stops way to much email for customers). My mail server is now VERY odd. If I grep my maillog file, this casues the server to 'freeze' until the grep is done. Also, about once an hour the mail server 'freezes' outgoing mail. I discover during this freeze time, reloading postfix seems to clear it up. I am wondering if anyone can find a problem with my main.cf file..posted below....I am puzzled. Do you think the hanging is caused by the RBL?
