Blacklist Not Working

Has anyone ever seen a situation where entries in the black_list are not
being used or matching?

I'd guess more details would help. The version of SA you're running, how 
you're calling SA, and perhaps a header and the matching 'entry' from your 
blacklist that isn't matching...

I assume you mean blacklist_from and blacklist_to. There is no
black_list that I'm aware of.

I pretty much don't use the spamassassin blacklist features at all. If I
want to blacklist someone, I do it at the MTA layer with a 550.

That said, I've not had any problems with the SA 2.64 blacklist

Test header used:
From: Joe <jo...@test.com>

The blacklist correctly hit the above header with all of the following:
    blacklist_from joe@test.com  
    blacklist_from *@test.com
    blacklist_from *@*test.com
    blacklist_from joe@*.com

It correctly did not match:
    blacklist_from joe@*.test.com


Can you post some examples of what you're having trouble with?

Yes.

Kind Regards,

P.S Perhaps you could be more specific?
