Those scored rules are just tests against a result from the base rule, so while you've disabled them, they don't cause the DNS lookup. All the spamhaus based RCVD_IN_* rules will have their query disabled by: score __RCVD_IN_ZEN 0 This makes sense if you look at how the rule is set up in 20_dnsbl_tests.cf: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/spamassassin/branches/3.2/rules/20_dnsbl_tests.cf The URIBL_SBL one is adequate as-is. > > Running spamassassin in debug mode however: > > r...@spamd1[/usr/local/etc/mail/spamassassin]# spamassassin -D 2>&1 < > dialup-nospam.txt | grep -i spamhaus > [3816] dbg: dns: checking RBL zen.spamhaus.org., set zen > [3816] dbg: dns: launching DNS A query for > 2.59.48.64.zen.spamhaus.org. in background > [3816] dbg: async: starting: DNSBL-A, > dns:A:2.59.48.64.zen.spamhaus.org.
