Yes, you can change the scenario your lists are using from

true()                             smtp,dkim,smime,md5        -> editorkey

To:

true()                             smtp,dkim,smime,md5        -> 
editorkey,quiet

You can see the scenario for a list in the web interface at Edit List 
Configuration / Sending/receiving setup.

The scenario can be changed at global/domain/list level.
