The most common ones that I make use of are "multiple" and "maxhits"

Where is the concept of "ruleset" in general documented, and in
particular what makes it "net-based"? Not in Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf.
"Ruleset" is a somewhat fuzzy term that depends on context - it could refer
to a single rule, a cluster of rules in a single file, a group of files, or
"all active rules files". It's not a formal definition within SpamAssassin.
In this case it's referring to one rule - tflags are only set on a per-rule
basis.
Any net-based rule is one that relies on a working Internet connection to do
a data lookup - most commonly DNS lookups, but rules for eg Vipul's Razor
(RAZOR_* rules), DCC, or Pyzor are also considered net rules since they do a
lookup against a network service somewhere.
More to the point, if you look at the "spamd" documentation for the "-L" flag
you'll see:
-L, --local
Perform only local tests on all mail. In other words, skip DNS and
other network tests. Works the same as the
"-L" flag to spamassassin(1).
So all "net-based" rules (as indicated by intrinsic coding or the tflags 'net')
get ignored when running in --local mode.
