I have tried to split this conversation into a couple of separate 
threads, so we can all understand where everything is going.

Here are all the current settings in spam.assassin.prefs.conf.
Please tell me what settings you think should be removed.
I am assuming at the point that we keep all of it in 1 file. 1 versus 2 
files can go in a separate thread.

What of the following settings should definitely be removed?
What settings should be added or changed?
Please post comments in-line in the posting, don't top post in this thread.
Please note these are supposed to produce a good setup on a 
vaguely-sensibly setup novice system. e.g. How many people run a mail 
server without DNS? The number has got to be vanishingly small. Please 
state your reasons for any additions/removals/changes.
