For those that prefer to use SA to bump up the score instead of
MailScanner's RBL's, something like:

header          RCVD_SPAMHAUS_XBL
rbleval:check_rbl('spamhaus-xbl','xbl.spamhaus.org.')
describe        RCVD_SPAMHAUS_XBL       Found in SpamHaus XBL
tflags          RCVD_SPAMHAUS_XBL       net
score           RCVD_SPAMHAUS_XBL       1.5

in spam.assassin.prefs.conf should do the trick...
