Not doing checks

I have SA3.1 installed on my fedora machine and 3.1 (built from fedora SRPM) 
on a RedHat Enterprise Linux 4 box . The fedora machine identifies a message 
as spam, but the redhat one lets it through. The only difference in the 
configs is basically, the redhat machine use MySQL for prefs where the fedora 
one does not.

Here are the checks that run on the FC5 machine:

[11431] dbg: check: 
tests=AWL,DATE_IN_FUTURE_03_06,DNS_FROM_RFC_POST,RCVD_IN_NJABL_DUL,RCVD_IN_SORBS_DUL,RCVD_IN_WHOIS_INVALID
[11431] dbg: check: 
subtests=__CD,__CT,__CTE,__CT_TEXT_PLAIN,__ENV_AND_HDR_FROM_MATCH,__FRAUD_DBI,__HAS_MSGID,__HAS_RCVD,__HAS_SUBJECT,__MIME_QP,__MIME_VERSION,__MSGID_OK_HOST,__NONEMPTY_BODY,__RCVD_IN_NJABL,__RCVD_IN_SORBS,__RCVD_IN_WHOIS,__RFC_IGNORANT_ENVFROM,__SANE_MSGID,__TOCC_EXISTS

And here is the same message run on SA on the redhat machine:

Whis is it not doing as many checks as the FC5 machine? How can I change this?

Found the problem:
skip_rbl_checks         
was set to 1.

Set it to 0 and it be now catching spammers... ;)

Thanks

The RHEL4 machine has following spamd args: 

-m 20 -D -u spamd -q -x

And the FC5 :

-d -c -m5 -H

it appears as if the difference is AWL (not surprisingly different), and a
bunch of network tests.  are you running the fc5 machine w/ -L (and do you
have Net::DNS installed, etc.)
