The spam phrases stuff is calculated statistically based on a largish corpus of spam and nonspam emails (close to 100,000 messages all together, about half of each). You can find (slightly) more details in the wordfreqs directory in CVS -- basically there's a batch run which counts the frequency of occurrence of phrases in spam mails vs. nonspam mails, then that file is generated automatically. You're not going to be able to calculate spam phrase lines by hand. Best to just create a new rule. I'm planning on taking a closer look at spam phrases later, since I don't fully understand it myself.
