A penalizing is "accepted" as long as this false penalizing does not lead to 
a reject. This is what policyd-weight is for - that checks may hit - but do no
harm.

Probably nothing. Policyd-weight does score certain checks by using results
of other checks.

FROM/MX_MATCHES_NOT_HELO(DOMAIN) for instance is calculated such:

$from_match_regex_verified_helo[0]      +
($total_dnsbl_score/4)                  +
($bogus_mx_penalty * $bogus_mx_penalty) +
$glob_numeric_score


There is no possibility to "disable" a check.


However: config changes are picked up by childs after MAINTENANCE_LEVEL
requests while each child has an own maintenance counter. 
To speed up a complete reloading of all childs use policyd-weight reload.
