I don't see a problem with it throwing out warnings, though:
    WARNING: sbph is currently only recommended with the hash driver, 
see limitations.txt

There is a balance between the work required to implement the checks, 
and the time required to support people here and elsewhere when they 
fall into common traps. If enough people make the mistake it becomes 
worth putting the checks into the code (or maybe having a separate 
dspamconf tool), in much the same way that documenting FAQs becomes 
worthwhile.

Personally I try to see the human operator of the software as part of 
the whole "package", and error-checking what they do is every bit as 
important as error-checking elsewhere in the code.
