Thank you to Martin Hepworth who pointed out that the plugin needs to be 
loaded via /etc/mail/spamassassin/init.pre:

$ cat /etc/mail/spamassassin/init.pre
# URIDNSBL - look up URLs found in the message against several DNS
# blocklists.
#
loadplugin Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::URIDNSBL

If this is documented somewhere, I couldn't find it.  Seems that the RPM 
I'm running from didn't include init.pre, though the tarball 
distribution does.

Thanks!

Mick

init.pre is a standard part of the distro.  If the RPM is missing it, it is
broken, and you should probably point that out to the maintainer thereof.

But be sure it is missing.  There is currently a problem that if you have an
old init.pre, a new version of SA won't overload it with the new version,
which has just a  whole bunch more loadplugin lines.
