The ones that can only be a simple value are:

debug
deliverinbackground
logspam
expandtnef
scannedmodifysubject
spamassassinautowhitelist
storeentireasdfqf
incomingworkdir
lockfiledir
pidfile
spamassassinprefsfile
SpamListDefinitions
VirusScannerDefinitions
Children
MaxUnscannedBytes
MaxUnscannedMessages
MaxDirtyBytes
MaxDirtyMessages
MaxSpamAssassinTimeouts
MaxSpamAssassinSize
RestartEvery
SpamListTimeout
SpamAssassinTimeout
VirusScannerTimeout
TNEFTimeout
inqueuedir
LockType
LogFacility
MinimumCodeStatus
MTA
RunAsUser
RunAsGroup
SpamStarsCharacter
TNEFExpander
VirusScanners

Note that those names are the "internal" names and not the "external" names
used in the MailScanner.conf file. If you can't find the appropriate
setting in the MailScanner.conf file, then look it up in the translation
table at the start of ConfigDefs.pl.

They are all the [Simple,*] values.

That is strictly true, but it's not supported and I can't predict what (if
any) results you will get if you try to use a Custom Function for a
"Simple" setting listed above. Please don't do it, the behaviour may well
change in future versions.

Keep up the good work!
