using surbl.org or uribl.com professional datafeeds in spamassassin

I am using the stock build of EFA version 3.0.1.7.

I am getting URIBL_BLOCKED The query to URIBL was blocked. See http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/Dns ... nsbl-block for more information.

I have access to access to non-public/professional data feed for SURBL and URIBL (http://www.surbl.org/ and http://www.uribl.com) and need to change the RBL DNS names Spam Assassin uses to these private ones.

I need to do the same for SpamHaus professional data feed, I have added it to the postfix main.cf and this is rejecting at postfix level.

Cannot find anything in /etc/mail/spamassassin/* that reference surbl.org or uribl.com

What are the files in /var/lib/spamassassin/3.004001/updates_spamassassin_org?

Once I know where to look I will be away.

just incase anybody else is going to do this, this is the HOW TO.

In the /etc/unbound/conf.d/forwarders.conf I added the following lines, x.x.x.x is the local DNS that as the zone replication.

forward-zone:
name: "multi.surbl.org"
forward-addr: x.x.x.x
forward-addr: x.x.x.x

Also

# Use SBL from your local zone, a datafeed from SpamHaus
uridnsbl URIBL_SBL sbl.dnsbl.local TXT

MailScanner users need to add the above line in
spam.assassin.prefs.conf
which should be linked from the name mailscanner.cf in the site_rules directory.
