Altought custom rules on a particular text is not the best way to 
achieve SpamAssassin potential, you need to add to local.cf something like:

header          SUBJ_RETHANKS         Subject =~ /Re\: Thanks \:\)/
describe        SUBJ_RETHANKS         Subject is "Re: Thanks :)"
score		SUBJ_RETHANKS	10 10 10 10
# Gives 10 points to those messages whose subject is "Re: Thanks :)"

You need to be able to write Perl regexps if you want to be more 
successful. You should test new rules on a development server, not on 
your primary box.
Don't forget to run spamassassin --lint before you put any new 
rule/ruleset into production!

Custom rules are very time consuming for the sysadmin, especially if not 
well written. There are enough free resources (rulesemporium) to keep 
SpamAssassin's hit ratio very high. And please do not forget that the 
Bayesian filter is your Friend!

SpamAssassin is _extremely_ well documented.

If you are using spamc/spamd you need to restart spamd in order to 
activate new rules.

If you are simply calling spamassassin executable from sendmail (highly 
inefficient), no restart is needed.
