Theres no warning, because the RBL checks are an optional component. In
the INSTALL file bundled with SA:
Optional Additional Modules
---------------------------
In addition, the following modules will be used for some checks, if
available. If they are not available, SpamAssassin will still work, just
not as effectively -- some of the spam-detection tests will have to be
skipped.
.......
- Net::DNS (from CPAN)
Used to check the RBL, RSS, DUL etc. and perform MX checks.
Recommended.
perl -MCPAN -e shell
o conf prerequisites_policy ask
install Net::DNS
quit

It should do.

Yes there is, you do what I suggested, which is run a test message
(preferably a nice spammy piece of spam) through SpamAssassin in debug
mode and look at the output. Eg:
spamassassin -D <test.msg 2>&1 | more
