How do you configure and use SpamAssassin to filter spam?
SpamAssassin is an open-source program that identifies email as potential spam by using a ranking system. It then tags the subject line with *****SPAM***** which makes it easier for you to filter spam using your email program or webmail. SpamAssassin 3.0 is enabled server-wide on all of our servers and can also be customized for each email account. SpamAssassin will only work for mailboxes that you have setup on the server, not for an email redirect that forwards to an outside email address. There are individual SpamAssassin settings for each mailbox. In the “Mail” page of the control panel, just select the email account you want to modify, then select the “Spam Filter” option. Here you can do things like adjust the thresholds for marking email as spam, change the tag that is added to the subject line, and “train” SpamAssassin with email that is still on the server.
