In other words the spamassassin plugin should not be used yet.

Surely it would be better do deny with a permanent error so that the
sender knows immediately if there is a problem. The reason I say this is
that legitimate emails were being blocked.
As I undertstand it, the suggestion is that I disable spamassassin,
require_resolvable_host, rhsbl and dnsbl. In that case there don't seem
to be many plugins left, so what functionality would qpsmtpd give me?
