It's a bit complex to be detailed here...

Briefly, you'll need to point NS servers for your zone to the rbldnsd  
server, then configure your spamassassin in order to query it.

You'd better refer to some of the online documents you can find on  
the web, like

http://www.spamhaus.org/datafeed/faq.lasso

or http://www.surbl.org/datafeed/ (see point n°8 near the end of the  
page).


Some of the startup switches are detailed in these documents, so you  
might want to read these...
