 From the config file:
# Setting this to yes means that spam found in the blacklist is treated
# as "High Scoring Spam" in the "Spam Actions" section below. Setting it
# to no means that it will be treated as "normal" spam.
# This can also be the filename of a ruleset.

But you don't have a blacklist. You have a list that states whether or 
not spam that's in your (blank) blacklist should be tagged as high 
scoring spam. The fact that you *call it* a blacklist doesn't make it one.
