Where to add themīefore we start writing rules, I have a warning for you. Whitelists, blacklists and tweaking scores of the default rules can help, but might not be sufficient in all cases.
If the typical kinds of email coming to your network are significantly different than those used in the corpus, you may get a lot of false positives or false negatives.
Since custom rules are generally not needed, why would you want to use some? Well, the default SpamAssassin ruleset is tuned to a somewhat generic sampling of mail that comes from the corpus submitters. You should realize that this guide is covering material that should be treated as intermediate to advanced configuration, not something you do 2 days after you manage to get SA working for the first time. I've tried to keep this guide very simple, and perhaps to a degree that makes it seem too easy. This guide also assumes you're relatively familiar with basic SpamAssassin configuration options, such as using blacklist_from and whitelist_to. Most sites run just fine with the default ruleset and no custom rules at all. Custom rules are really more for tweaking SpamAssassin to better suit your personal email, and isn't something you generally need to worry about at the start. If you don't yet have SpamAssassin running, I'd suggest starting off with the default ruleset.
Why you don't need custom rulesįirst, this guide assumes you're already familiar with SpamAssassin and already have a working setup. This was originally written by MattKettler. This is a straightforward guide to writing your own add-on rules for SpamAssassin.
