Disabling a shipped rule in SpamAssassin

[Kelly Jones <ke...@gmail.com>]

How do I disable a rule in /usr/local/share/spamassassin/*.cf?

I'm tempted to comment it out, but the headers say to not do that.

If I put something in /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cfg, I can override
the definition of an existing rule (right?), but that doesn't let me
delete a rule.

If I wanted to disable the RCVD_IN_NJABL_DUL rule (for example), could I do:

header RCVD_IN_NJABL_DUL NULL_TEST
describe RCVD_IN_NJABL_DUL overriding and nulling out NJABL test
score RCVD_IN_NJABL_DUL 0

or something? Or is setting the score to 0 sufficient?

I don't want SA to run the rule at all if I'm not going to use it, so
I wasn't sure if setting the score to 0 was the best way to go.

It is sufficient.

It is. In /etc/mail/spamassassin, not in the original rule!
