How to use the Spamhaus DBL

Hi all.
I noticed Spamhaus made available a new URIBL. I updated my SA package
(debian testing) to the latest version and I wanted to implement check on
the DBL list too.
How do I configure spamassassin to do that?
Thanks,

-JK

Get SA 3.3.1. Run sa-update.

Thanks Bret.
I did and it seems to be active:

dsrv:/etc/spamassassin# grep "DBL" *
70_sare_header.cf:#@@# Moved from file 1 to x31: SARE_MSGID_DBL_AT
70_sare_header.cf:meta SARE_MSGID_DBL_AT 0


However, I would like to make sure it actually works. Is there any way I
can test it?

Important notice: Do NOT try to use Spamhaus DBL with older SA
versions. See
http://www.spamhaus.org/faq/answers.lasso?section=Spamhaus%20DBL

No. These are SARE rules, not stock SA. Moreover, the single rule
matching the grep string clearly is disabled. There's nothing active in
that snippet.

However, you've been looking at the wrong place anyway. That's your
site-wide config dir, which never ever should house stock SA rules. The
directory sa-update (and SA) uses for latest rule-sets is something
like /var/lib/spamassassin/${VERSION}/.

See 'man spamassassin', section Configuration Files for the exact
location on your system.
