Who does RBL checks - MailScanner or SpamAssassin?

[Budi Febrianto]

Thanks Martin.

My fault:
I set dns_available no in spam.assassin.pref.conf file.
After I changed it into dns_available test, I see the dns: checking entry
in spamassassin --lint -D.

Now SA check the RBL.

But, even I only enable SBL_XBL in the spam.assassin.pref.conf file, it
seem that SA still checking others RBL.

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

Spam report taken from mailwatch.
4.09  URIBL_JP_SURBL    Contains an URL listed in the JP SURBL blocklist
3.01  URIBL_OB_SURBL    Contains an URL listed in the OB SURBL blocklist
1.64  URIBL_SBL         Contains an URL listed in the SBL blocklist

Should I disable all the RBL by setting the score to 0?

Best Regards
