Actually, that only means that razor, dcc and pyzor are disabled. All three are add-on packages that need separate installation, and you'd have to set those to 1 instead of 0. The "skip_rbl_checks" would only turn off normal RBLs if set to 1. However, none of this tells you anything about URI blacklists. For that you need to have a relatively recent version of Net::DNS installed. Try running spamassassin --lint -D and see if it complains about DNS being unavailable, or too old to support URIBLs. Also make sure you have an init.pre file in your /etc/mail/spamassassin. The normal tarball will install this, but several distribution packages screwed up and left this important file out. If it's missing, download the tarball from the spamassassin website and copy init.pre out of it.
