Another call for improvements

[Ken A]

Maybe I'm just being dense, but I don't see how this would work.

For example, if userA wants IN_CN (some S.A rule) to be scored at 0.00 
and userB wants IN_CN to be scored at 2.5, how would I go about writing 
a .rules file using Required SpamAssassin Score to achieve this?

The nearest I can come is this hack...assuming there was a rule called 
IN_CN and it's score was 1.5 by default.

Required SpamAssassin Score = %rules_dir%/sa.rules.rules

# sa.rules.rules file
#
# subtract 1.5 for userA
From	*.cn	AND	To	userA	4.0
# add 1.0 for userB
From	*.cn	AND	To	userB	7.5
default					6.5

What am I missing?

I want to write:

userA	IN_CN	0.00
userB	IN_CN	2.50

This is better, since it can work for all kinds of rules.

Thanks,
Ken A.
