No, take them out of your "Spam Lists = " setting in MailScanner.conf.

Yes, you do. In you spam.assassin.prefs.conf add these lines:
score RCVD_IN_SBL 0
score RCVD_IN_PBL 0
score RCVD_IN_XBL 0
and restart MailScanner.

Personally, I think the lists are well worth the money, but I get the 
educational discount :-)
