You should see SpamAssassin's use of RBLs show up as a bunch of RCVD_IN_* rules.

Some popular ones as an example:

RCVD_IN_BL_SPAMCOP_NET
RCVD_IN_DSBL
RCVD_IN_SORBS_WEB
RCVD_IN_XBL


By default SA uses these DNS blacklists:
	spamhaus.org (SBL+XBL)
	SpamCop.net
	NJABL.org (multiple lists)
	Sorbs.net (multiple lists)
	DSBL.org
	Completewhois.com
It also uses these DNS whitelists:
	iadb.isipp.com
	bondedsender.com

It has support for the mail-abuse.org (MAPS) lists, but since these are for-pay
services they are disabled by default.

See /usr/share/spamassassin/20_dnsbl_tests.cf if you want to see the gory details.

(note: don't edit this file. If you want to add your own tests, do so in
/etc/mail/spamassassin/*.cf)
