When looking at email that was marked as spam, I saw the following:
 1.2 URIBL_ABUSE_SURBL      Contains an URL listed in the ABUSE SURBL
                            blocklist
                            [URIs: techwrestle.com]
 2.5 URIBL_DBL_SPAM         Contains a spam URL listed in the Spamhaus DBL
                            blocklist
                            [URIs: techwrestle.com]

Should not one of those two be removed, because it is now penalised
two times.
It was spam, so that is not the problem, it only looks wrong to me.

there is nothing wrong
that's the whole point of scoring
different sources

or would you remove every RBL when stuff hits more then one instead say
"hey, when it's listed on 10 of it it's for *sure* spam"

Personally I would say: keep the highest one. In the above case 2.5.
But that is only my 2 cents.

The only reason to discard one or the other would be if they were two different rules checking the *same* blacklist.

If they are different blacklists, and that domain appears on both, then hitting both rules and getting scores for both hits is totally legitimate.
