    I have Spam Assassin set to "4", but still get a little amount of spam coming through.

    Anyone know how to report these messages to Spam Assassin?

    for about last 2-3 days all email I received reported as "not spam", it looks like spam assassin didn't do any test, as stated in header:
    "X-Spam-Status: No, hits=0.0 required=5.0 tests=none autolearn=no version=2.64".

    so, what should I do? it is only temporary issue, or I should manually configure spam assassin to do some tests by editing "user_prefs" (or else)?
    I'm on cpanel09, I already used spam assassin for more than 1 year without do any manual configuration, and spam assassin work fine before.

    Edited:
    I finally found the answer... it looks like dathorn just upgrade to spam assassin 3.0.0... my spam assassin working fine now...

      Yes, SpamAssassin on cpanel09 got upgraded and due to this you have to configure to the user_prefs files as per the new version if you want subjects rewritten, the way this is done has changed and cPanel itself isn't setup to handle it yet.

        So, here's a dumb question..

        Where is said user_pref file? My spam is flooding through now, even though it's supposed to rewrite the header to "*Spam*" and there is a filter in place to delete all messages with that header... instead I now get the email anyway, preceeded by

        "Spam detection software on Cpanel19.gzo.com has marked.. blah blah..."

        Thanks,
        Jacob

          In the root of the user's account there will be a .spamassassin folder. Make sure you have whatever you're viewing it with setup to show hidden files or else you will not be able to see it.
