Spam full of random words not being stopped

[Rob Charles]

Someone here on this list simply told me to add the bigevil.cf file in
either /etc/mail/spamassassin or wherever your 50_scores.cf file is.

And restart

But how or can you tell if a rule set is being used?

 I am still getting Habeas stuff to after adding score HABEAS_SWE -3.0 to my
/etc/Mailscanner/spam.assassin.prefs.conf

Its a little confusing to me being a newbie to mailscanner, knowing where to
add rules and such... can they just not go all in one file somewhere?

Thanks
