SA comes with a pile of config files as part of the normal install.  You
should certainly have the default SA config files installed.  Whether these
are the ones you are referring to on CPAN I can't say.  But I think you
should find a bunch of cf files probably in etc/mail/spamassassin.  The
surbl stuff will be in these rule files.

Some of the SARE rules have been subsumed into 3.0, but most haven't.  The
general rule is, if spam is leaking through, look to see if there is an
addon ruleset that can fix the problem.  If spam isn't leaking through,
generally don't bother.  Quite likely the sare general header, general
subject, bml, and fraud rules will help, as probably will some of the
others.  However, surbl does quite a good job all by itself.

Matt's antidrug rules are part of 3.0, so most of this stuff should be
caught by default.
