Changing SpamAssasin default filter scores

Hi all,

Just wondering how we might be able to change the default score for the SPOOF_GMAIL_MID rule?
We're getting a LOT of fake gmail.com addressed email at the moment so I need to change the rule from 1.5 to something like 4.0.

The score appears to be in the following file, however the files in that directory seem to get updated daily, so I'm not sure if making any changes will stick:
/var/lib/spamassassin/3.004001/updates_spamassassin_org/72_scores.cf

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You will want to modify the rule in /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf to override the rule instead of editing directly.
