That is generally not a desirable practice.

I see that you have bayes enabled. You should train your bayes every now
and again.
You may want to look at a few spams and write a rule just for them. For
example, we received a spam asking for a loan of a small amount of money.
It scored about 3.5. I wrote the following:
body __WORD_LOAN /\bloan\b/
describe __WORD_LOAN Describes a loan
body __WORD_URGENT /\burgent/
describe __WORD_URGENT Something is urgent or urgently needed
meta AE_SMALL_URGENT_LOAN __FRAUD_DBI && __WORD_LOAN && __WORD_URGENT
&& __REPLY_FREEMAIL
describe AE_SMALL_URGENT_LOAN urgent loan for a small dollar figure to
freemail user
score AE_SMALL_URGENT_LOAN 2.3
It's not the most elegant rule, but that's the real power of spamassassin -
custom rules to kill off the spam.
