Setting Up Spam Assassin

Spam Assassin is an automated mail filter that uses a wide range of heuristic algorithms on mail headers and message body text to identify "SPAM" (unsolicited email). Once identified, the mail is tagged as SPAM for later filtering using the user's desktop mail client.

If you are fed up with SPAM we suggest you enable 'Spam Assassin' by going to your Control Panel and enabling this utility.

(please not these examples are taken from the Cpanel theme 'Bluelagoon' - this is the latest Cpanel theme - if you do not have the latest Cpanel Theme - please submit a support ticket or email NZServers)

To enter your Control Panel please use http://yourdomainname/cpanel or http://yourdomainame:2086/ (for a secure version)

Instructions:

• Click on the Mail Icon or link
• Click on Spam Assassin link

The following screen will display:-

Two status messages display - showing you if Spam Assassin is enabled or disabled.

The preferable option to use is 'Enable Spam Assassin' as opposed to 'Enable Spam Box'
