Unlike systems like snort IDS, where the rule set are updated quite frequently compared to the actual detection engine, detecting spam is based on statistical analysis. It isn't a particularly good idea to incorporate other people's rules blindly into your own rule set, at least not before checking what the assigned scores of those rules will do to your existing Spam/Ham Corpus.
Each release of spamassassin will be tested on a huge corpus of general spam and ham mail and the scores of each rule will be adjusted to ensure the highest success rates and the lowest number of false-positives. If you're looking for rules then I'm sure you will find many discussions on this mailing list that will give you good ideas as to what you could implement locally, and feel free to contribute your thoughts on new rules.

We're new to SpamAssassin. Is there a location where we can retrieve (and contribute to) a constantly updated rules file? Just wondering.
