I'll take SA for RBLs any day over Sendmail, especially for 
high-collateral-damage RBLs like the Spamhaus list.  Being able to 
assign a score rather than blocking outright is, IMHO, the only sane way 
to use RBLs.

As far as disabling RBLs in SpamAssassin, just give each test related to 
the RBLs you don't want a score of zero, and it won't run.
