Most everything of the rules/config nature is plonked into
/usr/local/etc/spamassassin/.  I'm not so sure about adding
to those files, but if you're brave, you might go ahead.

The comments in the files might be helpful.

And, there's this, from /usr/local/share/spamassassin/user_prefs.template:

	# SpamAssassin user preferences file.  See 'perldoc Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf'   
	# for details of what can be tweaked.
