Razor/DCC/Pyzor are all use rules.  So there is no need to install those
for a mass-check, unless you have lots of msgs that were not checked
initially.  We should only be using the historical data for these rules
anyway, so probably best to not install them even if you do have a lot
of messages that were not checked initially.

I'll argue that we should only allow previously scanned messages for
mass-checks (excluding shortcircuit msgs as well) but that argument
would probably be tough to win. *grin*

We also need to go through and verify that any net tests have "reuse"
appropriately configured, and that any new net rules are properly pushed into
3.1 so we can get real world results.  Speaking of which, I should look at
getting DNSWL in 3.1...
