Nope, although you can always create them and see what score it gives them. But what I actually meant when I said "in combination" was not meta rules, but simply the sum-of-scores rule aggregation that spamassassin already does. Each of the rules may provide the suggestion of spam, but most rules are not scored high enough to mark an e-mail as spam on their own -- several rules must match in order to make a "spam" decision.
