Explanation of Score

[Martin Hepworth]

Ronnie
the default scores for SA rules are in
/usr/local/share/spamassassin/50_scores.cf

You can add the individual rule scores to the headers by make sure the
following parameters are set in MailScanner.conf

Detailed Spam Report = yes


# Do you want to include the numerical scores in the detailed SpamAssassin
# report, or just list the names of the scores
Include Scores In SpamAssassin Report = yes


If you want to add custom rules to the default set, place then in
/etc/mail/spamassassin, make sure they are readable by the MailScanner
user (as defined in the MailScanner.conf), and stop/start MailScanner in
order to get the rules re-read.
