Just to clarify a bit more, SURBL is a subset (part of) of SpamAssassin, but
is not enabled in the stock toaster. SURBLs are checked against the content
of a message.
RBL is totally separate from SpamAssassin (and SURBL). It checks the
sender's IP address against BLs before the message is even transmitted.

P.S. If someone would like to clarify things on the wiki, have at it!
