No, total_dnsbl_score is the score for dnsbls that have hit.

Which you have set to 0

Sorry, was from the devel version, which is 
$helo_numeric_score[0] * $total_dnsbl_score 

I don't think FROM/MX_MATCHES_NOT_HELO(DOMAIN)=1 was due to other scores, I
explained it rather to not raise wrong assumptions when setting 
$from_match_regex_verified_helo[0] to 0 (also I haven't seen a log-excerpt,
which caused me to make that statement, I can neither say whether it is
impossible that FROM/MX_MATCHES_NOT_HELO(DOMAIN) can be "1" if
$from_match_regex_verified_helo[0] is set to 0, but I'd guess so).
