And is that the one used, the one you're looking at? You don't have
multiple installs or some other such silliness?

Well, if you're handy with an editor and know a bit about the
structure of the code in MS, you could uncomment some of the
"debugging printf" statements that litter the code... And you can add
SpamAssasin debigging with --debug-sa... Other than that, the answer
is "no".
