SURBL / URIBL not triggered in SA

Great!.. that worked, thanks.  A manual execution of spamassassin now
trips URIBL_SC_SURBL for that test message.  Unfortunately, however, when
I send another test message containing the same URL from my yahoo account
through MailScanner, it's still not being triggered.  I just get this:

"not spam, SpamAssassin (score=-1.647, required 3, autolearn=not spam, AWL
0.95, BAYES_00 -2.60)"

The URIBL rules never appear in my spam log either for any incoming
message.  (though both the SpamAssassin and the MailScanner standard RBL
checks appear everywhere).

Anyway, that's narrowed it down somewhat.  It would seem that it has
something to do with the way MailScanner calls SpamAssassin -- different
option or using config files that I don't expect.

It is probably not working because your test message technically has no
body. The headers end with a blank line and you don't have one.

Try adding the required blank line after the last header and before the
body text.
