We have SpamAssassin disabled across all of our servers, yet when users enter their mail area and add an email filter, they still see:

Spam Header
Spam Score
Spam Bar

within the drop down for filter options. Additionally, they see:

Hint:To filter all mail that SpamAssassin has marked as spam, just choose "Spam Status", "begins with", and then enter "Yes" in the box.

Hint:To filter all mail that SpamAssassin has marked as with a spam score of 5.0 or greater then choose "Spam Bar", "contains", and then enter "+++++" in the box. (Note: if you wanted match a spam score of 4, you would use ++++. A spam score of three would be +++, etc.)
at the bottom of the page. This leads them to believe that setting up a filter based on SpamAssassin scores will allow them to filter spam. They then come to us asking why the filter is "broke" and not filtering their spam.

How can I prevent SpamAssassin information from showing up when SpamAssassin is disabled? Is this even possible? Time for a feature request perhaps?
