Shouldn't each specific domain which is included in a SURBL be used to establish a score? I know it's unusual for a spam to include a URI for two different domains, but shouldn't it increase the score anyway?
That's an interesting question which I'll leave for the implementors of SURBL-using programs to answer. :-)
If you see it 'per mail' its listed in for example SPAMCOP_URI_RBL, it doesnt matter if its listed once of twice, its listed...
There really isn't an easy way to do this through spamassassin's scoring. Basically a hit against a single RBL counts as a single rule hit and you can only hit a rule once. I don't think it's that critical to have multiple hits, since most people are setting the scores high enough that a single hit is enough.
I think your case is valid and you may consider bringing it up on the spamassassin-dev list to see if they are handling this differently in 3.0.

On the other hand, I can see David's point that it could possibly be useful to increase scores for additional spam domains within a given message. But that could lead to some inflated scores too.
From my point of view on the data side, that's an implementation
question. ;-)
