Fairly certain all the SpamAssassin whitelist rules just add another 
rule to the report (and lower the score). They don't delete any *RBL 
rules that also hit.

Here's the first example I found - not RBL-related, but the same idea:
-97.88,HTML_MESSAGE,MIME_QP_LONG_LINE,MY_CID_AND_ARIAL2,
MY_CID_AND_CLOSING,MY_CID_ARIAL2_CLOSING,USER_IN_WHITELIST
