Mailscanner RBL checks

I'm sorry I am just not following; my mailscanner.cf has only one line:

dns_available yes

Yet, it seems to be querying the external RBL's:
SpamAssassin (not cached, score=16.885, required 5, autolearn=disabled,
FH_RELAY_NODNS 1.25, HELO_EQ_IP_ADDR 1.12, HTML_MESSAGE 0.00,
HTML_OBFUSCATE_05_10 0.57, MIME_HTML_ONLY 1.67, RCVD_IN_BL_SPAMCOP_NET 2.19,
RCVD_IN_PBL 0.51, RDNS_NONE 0.10, URIBL_BLACK 1.96, URIBL_JP_SURBL 2.86,
URIBL_OB_SURBL 2.13, URIBL_SC_SURBL 2.52

My question is simply where/what is telling SpamAssassin to query all these
RBLs because my MailScanner.cf doesn't list any RBLs to be called (line is
commented out completely)
