Changes to SURBL in SA 3.2.1?

I have just been picking through some of the changes in 3.2.1 (having just
installed it) to see what impact this will have on my custom rules and RBLs
etc and have noticed somthing strange!

3.2.0 checked the following URIBLs
http://spamassassin.apache.org/tests_3_0_x.html:
URIBL_SBL
URIBL_SC_SURBL
URIBL_WS_SURBL  
URIBL_PH_SURBL 
URIBL_OB_SURBL
URIBL_AB_SURBL

3.2.1 checks the following URIBLs
http://spamassassin.apache.org/tests_3_2_x.html:
URIBL_COMPLETEWHOIS
URIBL_RHS_ABUSE 
URIBL_RHS_AHBL  
URIBL_RHS_BOGUSMX
URIBL_RHS_DOB  
URIBL_RHS_DSN 
URIBL_RHS_POST
URIBL_RHS_TLD_WHOIS 
URIBL_RHS_URIBL_BLACK
URIBL_RHS_URIBL_GREY
URIBL_RHS_WHOIS
URIBL_XS_SURBL  (URL listed in XS SURBL - TEsting)

My question is: Does URIBL_XS_SURBL replace all the previous SURBL black
lists? Is it in effect multi.surbl.org? I can't find any details on XS_SURBL
on the surbl.org website...

If it is a multiple check then this will reduce the scoring of some SPAM as
it is scored at 1, when some of the old SURBL rules where scored at 2, 3,
and even 4! Not a problem IMHO as SA now includes several other good URI BLs
including the excelent URIBL_BLACK.

Should be obvious. Find this setting in a config file (like local.cf) and 
change it.

Possibly using some old rules? Maybe the upgrade left old rule sets? If you 
run sa-update you should get a new set of rules. Try that. Also check that 
you are not referring to any of these rules in one of your config files 
(like local.cf).

Actually the current rule updates *remove* the test rules from the 
ruleset to avoid bug 5487 in 3.2.0 which also included the test rules in 
the base release ruleset.  3.2.1 and later aren't affected, and I was 
too lazy to get votes to remove the test rules, so they're still 
included in the base releases but zero scored (as they were in 3.2.0).

http://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=5487

If using 3.2.0, URIBL_BLACK and URIBL_GREY won't work unless you either 
run sa-update (recommended) or write your own URIBL_* rules that use a 
dot-quad to match against in the urirhssub rule.  In 3.2.1, URIBL_BLACK 
and URIBL_GREY work with or without running sa-update.

AFAIK, the RHS one is a test rule that accidentally got published to
sa-update.

The difference here isn't 3.2.1 vs 3.2.0, it's the sa-update channel data.
