The interface has changed from the one discussed in the stickied topic above. I just want to turn on SA and have it place a ***SPAM*** header in the subject of emails it detects. I still want to receive those emails and let Thunderbird's filters move them to a junk directory or delete them entirely (eventually). How can this be done?

Thanks.

new spamassassin script

This might be what you are looking for, but I could be wrong. I'll be sure to look up more about this, maybe even write up my own tutorial for it for the Web Hosting Tutorials forum. =)

Hi,

Attached should be a screen shot of the cpanel->spam assassin interface on pass32. Hopefully it is the same as the version on your server? I have highlighted in red three areas of interest.

Firstly, check the spam assassin is enabled on your account (top area).
Decide what score threshold you want (ie messages with a score higher than this number will be tagged as spam). To start with you might want to use something like 10 so you don't get too many false-positives that a lower threshold would cause. Also, make sure that the "auto-delete spam" option is disabled!

Towards the bottom is the "spam box" option. With this enabled, exim will automatically put any messages exceeding the threshold into an IMAP folder called "spam". If you don't want to use this option, then set up a Thunderbird filter that looks for the "X-Spam-Flag: YES" to achieve the same thing.

If you want to be able to train spam assassin so it is more reliable at catching ham/spam correctly then the script I wrote in Roxy's link will help with that.

Hope this helps!

Jonathan
