In this session we are going to see How To Configure SpamAssassin In DirectAdmin. You will first need to configure SpamAssassin.

DirectAdmin allows you to move spam emails directly into a separate folder by passing all your emails through a set of filtering rules first before going into your inbox.

Kindly follow the below Procedure to Configure the SpamAssassin.

Logon to your Directadmin login
Under the E-Mail Management section, click Spamassassin Setup
From here we can set up the SpamAssassin
SpamAssassin is currently enabled. If you want to disable, please click the button ‘Disable’
There are 7 sections to configure the SpamAssassin. You can change settings to your preference

a) Where do you want the spam to go? – Choose the location where you want the spam to go
b) What score threshold do you wish to use? – The default setting is set to “Low Threshold (5.0). Lower threshold will block more spam
c) Would you like to delete high scoring spam? – You can delete the spam if it matches the threshold value. The second option is recommended to avoid false positive spam email
d) Do you wish to rewrite the subject of a spam email? – The email header will be rewritten with your choice of key phrase if you choose this option
e) How should the spam be delivered? – Attachments will separate the spam into its own message, preventing scripts from being run. Text-only attachments are used for increased safety. Spam mails with images will not be shown
f) Email Blacklist – This is the list of email address that will be blocked
g) Email Whitelist – This is the list of email address that will be allowed
