Do it in your .spamassassin/user_prefs file, or for site wide, local.cf
in your rules directory. Look in rules/50_scores.cf for the rules, and
scores to copy/paste, and change.

Not too sure about the article's comment about no solution being

I'm heavy on spam learning relative to ham, but I haven't had any false

Which I'm sure is no surprise to most.
Just wanted to mention that I'd been trying to clean up a polluted ham
