Nope, don't know how to do it, never found any threads or FAQ on the site
related to doing so.

But I DO know that zmailer does that without taking any special steps, and
by doing so it speeds up processing, not slow it down as suspected would be
the case with sendmail.

sc_top200 is checking URIs found in the body of the message, not the ip
source of the sending smtp server, which is what RBL's do. The only
redundancy I could see would be between sc_top200 and one of the SURBLs, not
RBLs. If that is the case, I'll sure drop using sc_top200, but I have not
seen any mention that any of the SURBLs duplicate top200.
