           Summary: skip_rbl_checks does not disable commercial
                    surbl/uribl queries

We've enabled skip_rbl_checks on a low volume email filtering box running
SpamAssassin, assuming this would skip all DNSBL checks. We suddenly received a
warning email from URIBL that we would be blocked if we would continue to query
their list, and that we're required to pay for a datafeed. SURBL also recently
indicated they're going to become strict on policies and will start pushing
their commercial datafeed. We can easily disable the URIBL/SURBL queries now we
are aware of them of course, but it really seems like a bug that they're
queried at all.

I've read in the various discussions that this behavior is on purpose, however
I don't think the opensource SpamAssassin product should be used as a marketing
vehicle for such commercial projects, and would at least expect skip_rbl_checks
to skip the rbl checks.
