Not _really_, I guess its personal choice.  The thrust of what I was
trying to say was that if the poster was getting false positives from SA
letting  SA do the RBL checks will increase the scores for many spams
increasing the differentiation in scores between spam and ham.  I should
have added that there may be a need to tune the thresholds in this case.
