My personal opinion is that 'Spam Lists' should be defaulted to empty.

The Spamhaus mirrors are not really free to those who have a high mail 
volume.  If you make more than a certain number of queries to the 
mirrors, you will be contacted by them and asked to purchase a datafeed 
subscription.

I also think that any RBL choice should be made by the admin of the 
system, that way they know why when a messages is marked as '{Spam?}' 
but was scored by SpamAssassin beneath their 'Required SpamAssassin 
Score' threshold.

Cheers,
Steve.
