URIBL_SBL timeouts running MS in debug mode.

[Martin.Hepworth]

Donald

I prefer to run my checks in SA as they merely add to the score....

HOWEVER....

If you leave SA to do it, SA will check ALL RBLS it know about, it's up to you add add a zero score the ones you do NOT want to run. I just run a couple of trusted ones myself for speeds sake.

You can find what the names are buy looking at the 20_dnsbl_tests.cf file in /var/lib/spamassassin/<version>/updates_spamassassin_org.
