Just have to remove the files. There are usually three as best I recall,
including the journal file. Obviously best to stop SA while doing this.

It isn't enabled if net checks aren't enabled, and I don't recall if net
checks are enabled by default. I wouldn't think so, but maybe.
Also, even if net checks are enabled if you don't have a new enough version
of Net::DNS then they won't run. Doing a 'spamassassin -D' will tell you if
the net checks are enabled and if Net::DNS is a new enough version.
I suspect they are not running for you, because if they were they would
probably have been catching most of your spam.
Also SURBL added another test, I believe JP, since the 3.0.2 release. This
requires adding a line or two manually to enable the test. Docs are I
believe on the Surbl site.
