The spam.lists.conf file was updated a long time ago, but the comment in
MailScanner.conf

Spam List = # spamhaus-ZEN # You can un-comment this to enable them

was never changed. You can see the old contents of spam.lists.conf at
<https://github.com/MailScanner/v4/blob/c0efac278fac746a1cdb25ea3a1dee65f5d67110/mailscanner/etc/spam.lists.conf>


Spam List is for lists based on IP and Spam Domain List is for lists
based on domain name, but the names put in those settings must all be
defined in the Spam List Definitions file.
