If you use RBL:s in MS you will not score mail, that can only be done
in SA, there's however this option: "Spam Lists To Be Spam". If you
use several RBL:s like above you can set how many are needed for a
message to be blocked, note that MS RBL:s will always override the SA
score.

Use RBL:s only in SA if you want the most accurate spam protection. If
you have performance problems you can block with Sendmail too.
