I think it would be very beneficial to everyone who installs SpamAssassin for 
the first time to have a reference of VERY important config options that should 
be set before using SA for the first time.

I suggest adding something like the following near the top of the docs for 
Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf

It would greatly help anyone who is installing SA for the first time, having 
this information handy would save people time and troubles.

Important Settings you should set first

use_bayes (0|1) 0 = no 1 = yes
This enables using Bayes.  Do you want this?, should you use it for your 
application?, make sure you know if you need/want this or not before 
installing. 

use_auto_whitelist (0|1)
This enables using Auto-Whitelist factor.  Read the description above for bayes 
and ask the same questions. 

dns_available (yes|no|test) default = test
This enables or disables using dns (disables network tests if set to no).  
Setting this to no has side effects of turning of a lot of helpful tests.  If 
available always set this to yes. 



If someone installs SA on a new box it is important they know which settings 
are most important to set before using the software.
