A reduced impact score for Habeas (again in local.cf) might look like this:

# Score to reduce the effect of Habeas whitelisting
score HABEAS_ACCREDITED_COI 0 -0.5 0 -0.5
score HABEAS_ACCREDITED_SOI 0 -0.25 0 -0.25
score HABEAS_CHECKED 0 -0.1 0 -0.1

Things like this, is just to add it to /opt/zimbra/conf/spamassassin/local.cf and voila, it now works with in this example the Habeas lists to lower the score of emails, or do I have to tweak other conf files to make it actually make use of those lists?
I can't comment on your other tools (Razor etc.), but this part I did so I know how it works. . . The whitelists that I referenced in the wiki, including Habeas and BSP, are already included in SpamAssassin by default. I only learned about them when I found mail that we considered spam getting through my filters because these commercial whitelist scores were counteracting all the other legitimate spam flags. In a fit of pique I actually gave all those paid whitelists a positive score in local.cf--effectively penalizing any sender who uses them with automatic spam classification. But all that these lines do is change the score for an already-implemented list, not add a new list or service.
