Those are SpamAssassin rules, so they go in the local SpamAssassin configuration file along with any other custom rules you have. Typically that's some .cf file under /etc/mail/spamassassin. Don't alter the default config files that ship with SA - they will live someplace like /usr/share/spamassassin/

Running

   spamassassin -D --lint

should tell you where the config files live.
