files.

Neither of those files are specific to linux.

The .pm files are perl modules. To understand how those works in detail you need to learn perl. You don't need to know this when using SpamAssassin though.

The .cf files are specific to SpamAssassin. To learn how they work read the SpamAssassin documentation. Particularly
perldoc Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf
also available at
<http://search.cpan.org/~jmason/Mail-SpamAssassin-3.2.5/lib/Mail/SpamAssassin/Conf.pm>

I've used .cf files from http://www.rulesemporium.com i used to copy in
/usr/share/spamassassin/

Don't do that.

You should put your custom .cf files in the site rules directory. Usually "/etc/mail/spamassassin" or "/usr/local/etc/mail/spamassassin".

it works

But will stop working if you use sa-update or upgrade SpamAssassin.

but at some sites both .pm & .cf fiels
are available can some one please guide me wht to do with .pm files
> how to install them or make them work for me.

Read about "loadplugin" in the above mentioned documentation.
