Auto Purge Spam...Please tell me how?

[felipe808]

Help! How can I have all the Spamassasin spam "purged" automatically. It's just getting to be too much to do it manually. Thanks.

setup a filter to recognize the change of body text or subject then have the filter delete it.

[felipe808]

What?

OK. Well I don't understand that. All I could figure to do is select the Spam Assassin default option and maybe that will do it. Thanks.

you would create the filter OZ speaks of in your mail client.

what do you use?

MS Outlook...I've been told this before but I cannot find the location to make these adjustments. Thanks.

Use cpanel to set filter:

$h_X-Spam-Status: begins "Yes" Discard


This will kill spam recognized by spamassasin on the server.

Pedja, I added that to the FAQ

THAT REALLY WORKS well on my main account. Shouldn't that work on all accounts under the domain? I'm still receiveing a lot on one account. It has dramatically reduced spam. Thanks.

You have to set it to each account separately. I would like to see some global settings for reseller account in such mannet that when you set mail rules they work for all cpanel accounts...

[felipe808]

Each Account?

I don't see how this is done. I think we are talking about reseller accounts. I'm talking about email accounts under the same domain. I am still receiving a lot of spam under one of my email accounts and I don't see any way to apply settings separately to the samedomain.com email accounts.

I turned off the Spam box to see what that does. Thanks for your response.

Simple Version

In cpanel go to email, filters, new filter....

To filter all mail that SpamAssasin has marked as spam, just choose "SpamAssassin Spam Header", "begins with", and then enter "Yes" in the box.

May it be possible to explain more?

Hi,

May it be possible to explain this spamassasin setting a bit more clear? I could not find a filter setting I can write that line in Spamassasin from control panel. There is subject_tag, blacklist_from, score and whitelist_from...

Thank you.
