I believe you need both, however skip_rbl_checks 0 enables all
the RBL tests, not just SURBLs.

If you were previously not using RBL tests and only want to use
SURBLs, then you can give zero scores to the other RBL tests.
That may save some processing time, if it lowers your scores
somewhat.

Presumably you would zero these out in the local server config
files, and not the installed configs.
