Spam Assassin is a mail filter installed on all of our servers and is used to identify and remove spam. It checks for spam using a large number of pre-set rules that check the header, body, and sender of all e-mail messages sent to your domain mailboxes. For more information about Spam Assassin, refer to the following links.

To enable Spam Assassin simply click on the button labeled "Enable Spam Assassin" and spam assassin will mark a mail as spam or not. If you want to get rid of these emails that are marked as spam, all you need to do is enable the auto-delete by clicking on the "Enable auto delete" within the spam assasin screen.

From the main page of cpanel in the mail section there is an icon named "Spam assasin", click on that, now, in the next screen you will see several choices.

The very first choice you have is to switch on spam-assasin and the other 2 choices are to enable the spam-assasin auto delete, and to specify the spam scoring that you want spam-assasin to work to.

[The lower the score, the more agressive it works]

We aren't going to get into the "Spam Assassin" configuration settings in this article so you may ignore that button, unless you specifically want to whitelist specific addresses to prevent spam assasin from blocking, modifying or deleting emails from specific domain names.
