I assume that MailScanner is running as 'root' and/or has access the
read the rules?

You can check what MS is doing with the message by stopping MaiScanner,
putting the offending email in the 'in' queue, editting MailScanner.conf
   - set both Debug options to yes, and then running checkmailscanner.

This will give you debug info for both MS and SA so you might see why
the URI RBL tests are firing.
