Problems with Spamassassin - bad list check?

[Kenneth Burgener]

I am having problems with Spamassassin finding domains on SURBL lists. 
When I check the Spamassassin report it lists the domain as being listed 
in some of the black lists.  I went and
checked the domains at http://www.rulesemporium.com/cgi-bin/uribl.cgi
which says they aren't in the list.

So why is Spamassassin confused?  If the domain is not on the SURBL 
list, why is Spamassassin marking them as such?  I have attached two 
examples of improperly spam-marked email.

Even weirder is Spamassassin seems to only mark random emails from the 
same domain as being in the SURBL list.  Most of the time the emails 
come through clean as in example 3.

I have also attached a copy of my /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf.
