I'm running  2.20-1woody and added the above score to the system-wide 
settings /etc/spamassassin/local.cf, but it does not seem like those 
tests are being run.

So I have a few spamassassin questions:

1) It doesn't not seem like I have MICROSOFT_EXECUTABLE rule.  Can I add 
those additional tests to my version of spamassassin?


2) How do I know if RBLs are being consulted?

I'm using the default Debian user_prefs:

rewrite_subject         0

    score RCVD_IN_RBL               10
    score RCVD_IN_RSS               1
    score RCVD_IN_DUL               1
    score RCVD_IN_BL_SPAMCOP_NET    4
