spam assassin custom rule sets
Hi,
When i checked the third party softwares for spam-assassin i found many
custom rule sets. Do I have to install these rule sets manually? If I
perform sa-update, will it will include all these rule sets into my
spam-assassin rules list?

Note that you must also be using public DCC network, otherwise you'll need
commercial version. The public DCC servers limit daily usage to 200k
DCC lookups, for more you need own server connected to public network.
While it sounds reasonable, DCC is understood as non-free by Debian Free
Software Guidelines for this.

Razor2 is free for everyone:
Razor2 Service Policy V2.0
March 13, 2006
Razor2 agents connect to the Cloudmark Collaborative Security
Network to report spam and check for fingerprints. Cloudmark
provides free and open access to the CCSN but reserves the right
to deny access to anyone.
And DCC is free as long as you are not making it part of a commercial
filtering product:
The non-commercial DCC software is distributed under a license
<http://www.rhyolite.com/dcc/LICENSE> that is free only to
organizations that do not sell filtering devices or services except
to their own users and
that participate in the global DCC network. ISPs that use DCC to
filter mail for their
own users are intended to be covered by the free license
<http://www.rhyolite.com/dcc/LICENSE>.
Pyzor is another service similar to Razor that is also free.

Thanks for your suggestions. But in my project i would like to use only free
rule sets. When i searched about the rules you specified ,razor2 and dcc
seems to be paid rule sets.Can you please suggest any free alternatives for
these rules? and I would like to know the minimum cost of these rules?
Thanks again for your suggestions..:)

Before you start adding a bunch of 3rd party rules, I would reactivate
the RBL checks. Those will catch much more spam than any of the other
rulesets. Also, you definitely want to bump your required_score back to
5 before you start adding more rules.
That being said, these are the rules that I use (in addition to the
stock rules and RBL lists):
razor2
dcc
sought
khop-bl
khop-blessed
khop-general
khop-sc-neighbors
Botnet
FreeMail
iXhash
Sought and the khop rules can be updated via sa-update.

sa-update can be parameterised with a "channelfile".
