Just notice a majority of these noreply@ junk mail are listed in URI_BLACK. 
I just need to pump the scores up on this.
Stupid question....where do I go to change the score?
I have 4 50_scores.cf

/etc/mail/spamassassin/updates_spamassassin_org/50_scores.cf
/usr/share/spamassassin/50_scores.cf
/var/lib/spamassassin/3.001009/updates_spamassassin_org/50_scores.cf
/var/lib/spamassassin/3.002004/updates_spamassassin_org/50_scores.cf

I read somewhere that changing 50_scores.cf is not recommended as it will be over written when it updates.
Do I stick it in /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf?
