  Could you provide more details on how you tested the custom rules and the method you used to determine it did not work? Thank you.

  No custom rules, just score edit. I try to send an email from an external address, and the score is not affect. For example, without a customization SPF_PASS is 0, with a customization I set SPF_PASS -2.0 but if I try to send an email I see always SPF_PASS 0

  Are you using any third-party applications such as MailScanner that could change the default behavior of SpamAssassin? Thank you.

  Ok done! According with Eric Delorme (cPanel Level II Technical Analist) Hello, There is no need to use the old style spamassassin to make the customizations desired. Spamassassin is rather flexible. You just need to use a separate configuration file in /etc/mail/spamassassin/ but with another name of your choosing so it's included and with the extension .cf like /etc/mail/spamassassin/mine.cf Once these rules are set you would need to restart Spamassassin though. /scripts/restartsrv spamd In order to check the configuration before restarting you would do /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/bin/spamassassin --lint If there are errors you will see something like "warn: config: failed to parse line, skipping, in ". This can be tested so you can see if the icluded file is added pur some random characters in a file with .cf extension in /etc/mail/spamassassin and run "/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/bin/spamassassin --lint". Thank you!
