[Rspamd-Users] Custom rules: score is added but has no effect

Have the scores been changed via webui? That can override config files.

Perhaps it was cached? See files in /var/lib/rspamd/...
Search the map filename in rspamd.log and restart rspamd after changes
or wait until they are picked up.

What happens with action = accept, is it accepted then?
If so you're at the right place in your config.

Check your config with "rspamadm configdump".
