SPAMASSASSIN SCORE RANGE HOW TO
To learn how to set up filters in various email clients, please visit our guide on setting up email filters.
By setting up filters in your email client you can sort the mail and have all messages labeled as spam placed into its folder for review later. This will keep junk mail out of your inbox. Spam will begin with the subject line “ SPAM“. Emails that are determined to be spam are still delivered to your inbox. In order to maximize the true power of SpamAssassin, we recommend you set up a Filter/Message rule in your mail client. Congratulations! You are finshed!

Once logged into cPanel, look for the icon called Apache SpamAssassin under the Email section. The first step to enabling SpamAssassin is to log into cPanel.We suggest testing the different settings prior to using a higher setting. So, the lower the score, the more emails should be flagged as spam. If you set the score higher, more hits will be required on an email for it to be labeled as spam. For example, a setting of 1 means that only one hit needs to be flagged against an email for it to be considered spam. The lower the score you set, the more email will be caught as spam. If the email exceeds the maximum point value you set, the email is flagged as spam. When it finds particular characteristics in an email it assigns a point value. SpamAssassin uses a points based system called “hits” to label spam. What does this default score of 5 actually mean? How the point system works When enabled by default, you will be set to 5. SpamAssassin works on the back end of your email server and has 10 different levels of settings to catch spam. Instead, it determines whether an email is spam as soon as it hits the server. SpamAssassin is not an email filter, as some other spam prevention tools are. Note: New cPanel accounts will have Spam Filters instead. By default, SpamAssassin is disabled so you must enable it within cPanel to take advantage of it’s features. SpamAssassin works by blocking unwanted email addresses before they reach your email’s inbox.
