"rules" is misleading since incremental Mode doesn't use a rules list,
at least not in the same sense as the wordlist mode.  Incremental just
tries every possible combination, though you can affect this with some
configuration options.  I believe the order it tries things is
determined by information in the charset file on relative frequencies
of different combinations of characters in typical passwords.

How about

[Incremental:Custom]
File = $JOHN/alpha.chr
MinLen = 4
MaxLen = 16
Extra = 24!|&

run using "john --incremental=custom passwords.txt"

The docs do say that the "24!|&" characters will be treated as "less
likely" than those in the charset, but don't really give any more
detail than that.
