Spamassassin Custom Rules

Hi,
I am running DirectAdmin and installed Spamassassin. I receive around 30 spam mails every 10 minutes. When I wake up, my whole mailbox is full of spam.
I found some custom rules I want to use. Does anyone know how to use these rules? In which folder do I have to save them and with what filename?
Thanks,
Dennis

@Jarland perhaps can help
When I was using Spamassassin I have to put my rules in /var/lib/spamassassin/3.004001 (Arch server). I've since swapped to rspamd.
I've found the defaults pretty good on their own. I just adjusted the threshold a little lower. What I've done is for spam I include the whole break down in the headers so I can see why a message was flagged. For non-spam I include just the score so I can see what false negatives are scoring in case I need to adjust my threshold.
To answer your question though, there's information on their web site:
