I got confirmation from the developer of amavisd-new on the amavis list that
there is nothing in amavis that would stop spamassassin from completing it's
DNS queries.  I could not find a spamassassin config option to limit the
number of RBLs queried, that's why I thought it strange that it will most
often only list one RBL response, and once in a while it will list two, but
never more than two, even though if I turn on querylog on my bind server, it
shows that all of the RBLs were actually queried.

I am using SA 2.55, and here is an example from a quarantined file:

The sending mail servers IP address 4.63.200.76 actually failed 12 of the
RBLs (see attached dig output) I have listed in my local.cf file (see
attached cf snippet).  If there is no config option to limit the number of
RBL that SA will accept responses from, then I guess this must be a bug.
