Please use multi.surbl.org, which is now the only production list. SpamAssassin versions 3 and later correctly use multi by default. Earlier versions of SpamAssassin should probably be upgraded to version 3. Cheers, Jeff C.

SURBL is probably turned on.
you can run spamassassin with the -D flag.
you can also look in SA files to see if it using multi.surbl.org. if
using sa-update, look in
/var/(db|lib)/spamassassin/${version}/updates_spamassassin_org/*.cf
to disable surbl (all or a few), use
meta URIBL_AB_SURBL (0)
meta URIBL_JP_SURBL (0)
meta URIBL_OB_SURBL (0)
meta URIBL_PH_SURBL (0)
meta URIBL_SC_SURBL (0)
meta URIBL_WS_SURBL (0)
meta URIBL_XS_SURBL (0)
(the last one has been removed from SA).

Which is true, but not really the appropriate answer for the
original issue.
Only people who are running SpamAssassin 2.6 would need to make
changes to use multi.surbl.org, namedly to upgrade to
SpamAssassin 3

Individual SURBL lists to be shut down on public nameservers February 28, 2009. Use multi.
For historical reasons, the SURBL public nameservers were serving individual lists ab, sc, ob and ws in addition to multi. However these individual lists have all been deprecated in favor of multi for several years since multi contains all lists. Traffic for the individual lists is relatively very low, and no one should be using them any more, so in order to reduce unnecessary and redundant network traffic we will be turning off public nameservice for the individual lists on February 28th, 2009. Everyone should be using multi.surbl.org instead, and this has been the case for many years now. Therefore if anyone is using the individual lists, please stop doing so and use multi instead. A single query to multi will check all SURBL lists. http://www.surbl.org/lists.html Cheers, Jeff C.

A grep -r -i of your rules directories is the way to go. SA 3.2.5 uses multi. Unless you've put in your own custom rules you should be OK.
