Kristian,
Yes and yes. (spamd does use the system's resolve settings and
MAPS does check the connecting IP address to see if the queries
are coming from a registered customer).
If your server has more than one IP address associated with it
(multi-home, mulit-interface, or virtual interfaces) then you
have a problem.
If you are running a 'bind' DNS-server on your machine, you can
set up a 'type forward' zone for "rbl-plus.mail-abuse.org" and
configure it to use an appropriate IP address when it does its queries
to MAPS. That way you don't have to mess with hacking resolver
client stuff, it's easy to reconfigure and will cache answers to
speed things up.
Note that the current release version of spamassassin does NOT
correctly handle lookups in the "rbl-plus" service from MAPS.
It is coded for the various seperate MAPS zones for DUL, RSS, RBL
and does not know "how" to split apart the different responses
from the single "rbl-plus" zone.
Version 2.60 looks like they've fixed that and I'm just in the
process of testing it.
