SPAM Assassin & cPanel

Spam Assassin is a mail filter installed on a mail server used to identify spam. It checks for spam using a large number of pre-set rules that check the header, body, and sender of all e-mail messages sent to your domain mailbox. Spam Assassin uses a wide variety of local and network tests to identify spam signatures. This makes it harder for spammers to identify one aspect which they can craft their messages to work around. For more information about Spam Assassin, refer to the following links:

  • Spam Assassin – Spam Assassin web site.

  • Spam Assassin rules – A list of all the rules that Spam Assassin currently uses.

To enable Spam Assassin in cPanel:

  1. Click on the Spam Assassin link in the Mail area.

  2. Click on the Enable Spam Assassin button.

  3. If you want all messages tagged as SPAM redirected to a different mailbox – turn on the SPAM box in the same area of cPanel. Enabling the Spam Box feature will cause all mail marked by Spam Assassin as spam to be delivered to a separate mail box called ‘spam’.

Keep in mind to clean out the SPAM Box every once in a while because it might fill up fast and take away the remaining disk space in your account.

You can disable Spam Assassin whenever you need to. If you are not able to receive a non-spam e-mail it is a good idea to disable Spam Assassin and have the e-mail re-send by the sender.

To disable Spam Assassin:

  1. Click on the Spam Assassin link in the Mail area.

  2. Click on the Disable Spam Assassin button.
