Sorry if repeating, but I never got any answers to this:
This newbie sees various posts like the above here on the list.  These rules
can be invoked by which of the following means:
1.  Simply copying the .cf file to /etc/spamassassin (or the appropriate
user dir)?
2.  Cutting and pasting the rules directly to the local.cf file would work
for the above KAM.cf, but I see other .cf files that don't directly contain
regex rules etc.  Are those invoked simply be their being in the
/etc/mail/spamassassin dir with the local.cf file, or is some other step
necessary to invoke them?
