Spamassassin is configured in
/etc/MailScanner/spam.assassin.prefs.conf.  That's where you can set
configuration parameters,  define new rules, and redefine existing rule
scores, etc.  Spamassassin configuration options can be found at...

Other documents are available at...

What you have listed above are scores from Spamassassin based on its RBL
checks.  If you do RBL checks in MS it's a pass/fail test.  That is, if
the check returns true the message is flagged as SPAM.  Doing RBL checks
in MS is more efficient whereas doing them in SA is less ruthless in
that failures simply contribute to the final score.
