Maybe, maybe not. Depends on the posters user agent. All messages
SHOULD have some sort of identification (ie a List-Id or
X-Mailling-List header).

Only if you never receive spam from that list. I have SA precisely
because I get spam through some lists.
Other alternatives are to avoid running that list through SA or
adjusting other rules to suit you.

First the name of all the tests are listed in the X-Spam-Status:
header. They might even be in the same order as the details list.

No, that's part of the description.

Yes.

| describe X_OSIRU_SPAMWARE_SITE DNSBL: sender is a Spamware site or vendor
Notice that those two descriptions are different. Which description
matches the description of the test that scored 3.0?

On my system (debian package!)
/etc/spamassassin/50_scores.cf

First find the names of the tests you are interested in (X-Spam-Status
header). Then you need to locate the config files. It looks like
you've already done this. Then use grep to find the relevant lines of
the relevant files.
To change the scores of a test you have to decide where to put the
change. There are 2 main choices :
o the score file that comes with SA
o your own config file (eg /etc/spamassassin/99_local.cf or
~/.spamassassin/user_prefs)
The tradeoff is that one will be overwritten on upgrades. If you
really like your score, don't put it in the first file. If you want
your score to be replaced by the default score (possibly changed by
the GA[1]) with each upgrade then use the first file.

[1] network tests aren't scored by the GA though
