SA 3.0.0, what other local cf files?

I am still struggling with SURBL too. The output from the above command
makes me believe that SURBL is working (some snippets):
debug: diag: module installed: URI, version 1.33
debug: running uri tests; score so far=-3.174
debug: plugin: Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::URIDNSBL=HASH(0x90a8458)
implements 'check_tick'
debug: plugin: Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::URIDNSBL=HASH(0x90a8458)
implements 'check_post_dnsbl'
debug: running uri tests; score so far=0.222

At the end of the lot:
debug:
tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_50,DCC_CHECK,MISSING_HEADERS,MISSING_SUBJECT,NO_REAL_NAME
debug:
subtests=__HAS_MSGID,__MSGID_OK_DIGITS,__MSGID_OK_HOST,__SANE_MSGID,__UNUSABLE_MSGID


But mails never get scored for URI hits. I *assume* my SpamAssassin
install is ok and really haven't got a clue what to look for now.

Any hints greatly appreciated :)


With regard to the problem with Bayes, on one box I simply wiped out the
complete databases and then installed SA 3.0. I have sufficient
honey-pots to retrain the database in record time anyways.
