Who does RBL checks - MailScanner or SpamAssassin?

Dumb question:
I changed the configuration in MailScanner.conf
from
Spam List = SBL+XBL # You can un-comment this to enable them

To
Spam List = # SBL+XBL # You can un-comment this to enable them

And in spam.assassin.pref.conf
from
#score RCVD_IN_BL_SPAMCOP_NET    4
# These next 3 will cost you money, see mailscanner.conf.
#score RCVD_IN_RBL               10
#score RCVD_IN_RSS               1
#score RCVD_IN_DUL               1

To
score __RCVD_IN_SBL_XBL         4
#score RCVD_IN_BL_SPAMCOP_NET    4
# These next 3 will cost you money, see mailscanner.conf.
#score RCVD_IN_RBL               10
#score RCVD_IN_RSS               1
#score RCVD_IN_DUL               1

Do the spamassassin --lint result OK.
Then do MailScanner reload.
Now, how do I know if the RBL works in SA? Because in the log (I use
mailwatch), I don't see any tag in spam report. I can see the pyzor_check
score.

I use SA 3.1.0 and MailScanner 4.52.2

Thanks
