See http://wiki.spamassassin.org/w/CustomRulesets. (Thanks, Matt!) Setting the up is a simple matter of putting the .cf files in the same folder as your local.cf. They are not included in SA (yet) because they have not been run through the significant testing and scoring procedure that standard SA rules go through. Some are limited by your business environment as they may end up hitting on e-mail you need to receive. My generally recommendation would be to start with backhair, weeds, chickenpox and bigevil and then see if any of the other rules make sense for you. (How I wish "reply" would reply to the list... I must send messages to the wrong place at leave every other time I post!) Bret
