May somebody tell me how to make spamassasin to keep emails containing certain words in subject to not be filtered as spam?

Most of the legitimate mails I get shares some similar words in subject.

My hosting has spamassasin but just see some fields to fill there, besides blacklist or whitelist, there are one thay says “score”…

Can I enter something there?

I’d like to tell: if subject contains the word “bla” then is NOT spam

That way I might lower the requiered_score value to 5 or 4 instead using 8, without fear of loosing good emails.

Tried this in user_prefs.cf but doesn't seems to be working

required_score 6
rewrite_header subject Spamassassin Spam
subject_tag {SPAM _HITS_}
whitelist_from *@mytrusteddomains.com
score SUBJ_VIAGRA 10
score SUBJ_WORDSINORMALLYSEEINGOODEMAILSUBJECTS -10

Should that filter Viagra subjects and mark as good
WORDSINORMALLYSEEINGOODEMAILSUBJECTS?

BTW enabled the option to rewrite subject instead deleting from server, but where is that information stored.
I don't see it in user_prefs.cf...
