um. well. I would If I knew what it did :) does it impact High Scoring
Spam Actions ever?
how about:
#If the message sender is on the number of Spam Lists (RBL's) specified in:
#"Spam Lists To Reach High Score",
#  do you still want
# to do the SpamAssassin checks? Setting this to "no" will reduce the load
# on your server.

# This can also be the filename of a ruleset.
Check SpamAssassin If On Spam List = yes

is the above accurate? I am still unclear on the action of these parameters:
i.e. whether it only takes one spam list hit to activate the parameter
"Check SpamAssassin If On Spam List"
