Spam Assassin
cPanel Settings
Spam Score Limit
SpamAssassin screens each incoming email message and scores it based on its spam characteristics. By default, SpamAssassin considers messages with a score of 5 to be spam; you can adjust the spam score limit to more or less aggressive. Select the desired spam score limit from the "Score" drop-down menu in the Filters section. The lower the score, the more restrictive the filter will be:
- 0 means everything incoming will be marked as spam.
- 5 is the default setting (and works well for typical users).
- 10 means that any message with a score of 10 or less will not be marked as spam.
Spam Box
When Spam Box is enabled, a spam folder is created. Spam is then delivered directly to this folder, allowing you to review all mail marked as spam before it is deleted.
To enable Spam Box, click "Enable Spam Box" in the Spam Box section. (This is the recommended setting, instead of auto-deleting spam.)
