multi.surbl.org confusion

["Gary W. Smith" <ga...@primeexalia.com>]

I've noticed while looking into some items for Sa 3.X that
multi.surbl.org takes a bitmask flag.  I've noticed that the sample
contains bitmask 64 for JP as the source.  

Does this mean that it only hit's JP?  

The documentation is a little short on the exact usage of these.  I'm
just curious before implementing this and removing the other three that
I have in place (sc, ws and ob).

Each bit position represents a different list.  If the bit in the
64 position is set then that means a record is on the JP list.
In rules, the 64 bit means to use the JP data.  The other lists
use different bits.  SC uses the 2 bit, etc.  If a given domain
is on both JP and SC and no others then it gets a value of 64 + 2
or 66.  This is similar to how the OPM RBL works:

We recommend using SC, WS, OB, JP, etc.  Generally speaking
you'll detect more spam if you don't take any out.
