Try this:

----------------------------------------------------------
local.d/multimap.conf:

BODY_SPAM {
	type = "content";
	filter = "oneline";
	map = "file:///etc/rspamd/local.d/body_spam.map";
	multi = true;
	regexp = true;
	score = 1.0;
}

/etc/rspamd/local.d/body_spam.map:

/Trades/ BODY_SPAM:0.12
/this_is_spam/ BODY_SPAM:5.82
----------------------------------------------------------

Send an email containing those words and watch your rspamd.log.
Look for lines including rspamd_task_write_log, you should see
BODY_SPAM there.


The symbol is BODY_SPAM. It won't work if you comment out
the line with "score = 1.0;", unless you define BODY_SPAM in
metrics.conf (deprecated) or groups.conf.

You can use the symbol BODY_SPAM in other places like force_action.conf.

You may have read about lua rules but this is not needed for multimaps.
