Did you mean?

In SA 3.1.6 and higher the network tests are >NOT< enabled when you're
running --lint, as they aren't relevant. The purpose of lint is to check
your config files, not your network connectivity.

Which would explain why I was going crazy today trying to find out why only
the local checks (spamassassin -L) were running !

Still would be nice to have a flag to enable network checks when you need
to.

	spamassassin -N --lint :)

Thanks for the info.
