Most likely not DNSBLs because I don't know what that is.  I'm guessing
dns black list where it goes to web sites and checks to see if its spam,
and not bayes.  I see all these messages come through the list about
bayes but I still don't understand it.  

Is this DNSBLs in the mailscanner.conf?
Spam List = ORDB-RBL spamcop.net .... and so on.

Depends.. are you using bayes and DNSBLs? If so, seems kinda low and you
might want to review your bayes training.. if not, well, that's not too
surprising.
