Afraid not. As the "Use" line can be a ruleset, I would have to cheat a bit
(which I haven't done yet) to be able to tell that it's just "no" and not a
ruleset which happens to produce the value "no" for a particular message.

Can see your point though, so it may change... :)

Right, okay, I see the problem now. I've changed the default in 4a5 to no
and no, instead of yes and yes.

>Im just used to the "master" switch of "Use SpamAssassin".

Sorry, that had to change due to the possibility of it being a ruleset. It
does mean that you can selectively switch SpamAssassin on and off for
particular addresses / domains.
