Please don't use multi.surb.org as an RBL.  It's not an RBL,
and it will detect almost zero spam that way, and it causes
unnecessary load on our name servers to do so.

multi.surbl.org needs to be used with a program that can
parse URIs in message bodies and extract hosts from them,
such as SpamAssassin:

How are you calling SpamAssassin?  In addition to Net::DNS
you need to have network tests enabled:
