Well, first, rewrite_header is not a valid command in SA 2.63. It's rewrite_subject in versions of SA older than 3.0.0. That said, it should be enabled by default. Second, just being listed in a single DNSBL is generally not sufficient to get a message tagged as spam by SA. Take a look at the rule for that DNSBL, and it's score. Unless it's score is higher than your required_hits it alone won't cause a message to get tagged. Third, be sure to run spamassassin --lint. This should run quietly, but if your config has errors, it will complain when you run this check. (SA has no other way of complaining about config errors, so do this here).
