forgive me if I'm wrong but I am under the impression that there are 
already score adjustments in this file as shipped with MailScanner... 
bogus-virus-warnings for instance, I myself already have slightly 
customised Bayes scores. Having custom score adjustments in different 
places is daft and more work to maintain. Why not rename the file as 
suggested and then all customisations will be read after other rulesets.

Glen's suggestion to create a second link would certainly work and 
survive an upgrade but it is... inelegant, resulting in the custom .cf 
file getting read twice. At the moment its probably the best solution 
unless Jules renames the link.
