which is not the correct thing to do.
1) If you don't like SPEWS/Osirusoft, set the score to 0 on your server
Quite honestly, I don't think you'll convince the SA developers to set
the score to 0.
2) You seem to be missing the entire point of SpamAssassin, it allows you to
combine several RBLs and only reject/flag the Email if several factors
combined hint that the message is spam
3) Osirusoft returns 8 different codes depending on the match for an IP

If you don't like SPEWS, just don't pay attention to 127.0.0.6
Stick this in local.cf:
header X_OSIRU_SPAMWARE_SITE eval:check_rbl_results_for('osirusoft', '127.0.0.6')
describe X_OSIRU_SPAMWARE_SITE Don't trust spews
score X_OSIRU_SPAMWARE_SITE -2.0
