Scoring DNSRBL from spam.lists.conf?

[Craig Daters]

It was my belief that using the DNSRBL stuff in spam.lists.conf meant 
that messages who's origin IP, etc was found to exist on these lists 
where scored and thus contributed to the final spam score of a 
particular message?

This past weekend, we had a Comcast user send mail to several of our 
users using some fake from addresses which ended in our domain, i.e.:

info at westpress.com (legitimate)
register at westpress.com (fake)
so on, and so on.

I went to www.DNSstuff.com to see which lists would have this person 
listed and entered some of the ones that looked not to be overly 
aggressive. This is where I learned that any message which appears on a 
list results is it automatically being flagged as spam. I have looked 
in MailScanner.conf, the only option I find that allow some control 
over how messages are flagged is the "Spam Lists To Reach High Score" 
option (which I have set to "3" by the way). Is this the correct 
behavior for the "Spam List" option?

And secondly, is there a way to apply scores to these instead?
