Yep... You have two conflicting "score RCVD_IN_NERDS_US" lines. If you were
trying to assign a positive score for the first (everything) test you should
not have used a non-scored __RULE name.
If you're running 3.1.0, check out the Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::RelayCountry
plugin, which can give similar results in a single test with much lower
overhead.
