put something similar to this in your /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf:

score HABEAS_SWE -1.0

and restart spamd when you are done.

Default is -8.0.. but with the forgeries, many are going to 0.

I'd caution strongly against assigning a positive score, as many people 
(ie: Theo) do use it on most of the mail they send.

I'd also advise noticing that all the SWE abuse so far is from 
pharmacourt.. a simple rule looking for that name in text, and another 
looking for it in a uri goes quite far.

You might also want to look at the antidrug ruleset.
