======Custom Rule Scores======
 +
You can customize the score assigned by a specific Spamassassin rule (SARE_ADULT2 in this case) as follows:
 +
mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf
 +
cd /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf
 +
echo "score SARE_ADULT2 20.000" >> 20localscores
 +
signal-event email-update
 +
 +
You can now add additional tests and custom scores by editing the newly-created template fragment ''20localscores'' and adding new custom scores. 
 +
pico -w /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf/20localscores
 +
signal-event email-update
 +
Each custom score goes on its own line.  If you enter a score surrounded by parentheses, the "custom" score will be added to the default score for the specified test (use ''score TEST_NAME (-1)'' to reduce the score for 'TEST_NAME' by 1)
 +
 +
You can remove these customizations using:
 +
rm -f /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf/20localscores
 +
signal-event email-update
 +
