Don't modify the default config files, they regularly get oblitterated
by updates.
Put your own site-wide settings in /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf

Correction for clarity:
They regularly get over-ridden by new versions when you run sa-update.
The default set itself also gets obliterated when you update versions of
SA.
Thus, the default rule files are not a viable place to put your
settings. Instead use .cf files in your "site rules" directory, which is
/etc/mail/spamassassin on most systems. If in doubt, run spamassassin
--lint -D and see what it claims the site rules dir is near the top of
the debug output.
