Remove the current big evil.cf from the /etc/mail/spamassassin dir
1. cd /etc/mail/spamassassin
     rm bigevil.cf
Now download the file directly into the dir using your Linux console
2. wget http://www.merchantsoverseas.com/wwwroot/gorilla/bigevil.cf
Now restart MailScanner (assume you use Red Hat)
3. service MailScanner restart
Test - wait for some spam to go through, jump into MailWatch (or however
you like looking at the reports) and you will see on the next few mails
marked as spam that there are some new scores, big_evil_list etc etc
