Now you can again go back and click on 'Configure Spamassassin' to set a threshold of how aggressive Spamassassin should be when examining e-mail.

Using the SpamAssassin classes, it can be used on a variety of email systems - Procmail, Postfix, Qmail, Sendmail etc.

Portable: SpamAssassin has a well-designed API and is not limited to traditional local-delivery-to-spool case.

Easy customization: Rules, rule weights and user readable text are stored in plain text configuration files to a great extent, which the user (or system administrator) can modify or add new rules.

Free software: SpamAssassin is distributed free and under similar terms and conditions as Perl itself.

This makes it more difficult for spammers to work around one aspect of the message to avoid detection.

Effective rule set: SpamAssassin has a wide range of local and network rules to identify spam.

The default threshold score is 5 and is quite aggresive. SpamAssassin assigns a score to every email based upon its inbuilt set of rules and all emails above this threshold are marked as spam.

Using SpamAssassin and email filtering option of cPanel, emails that SpamAssassin deems as spam can be automatically discarded, based on a threshold score you set. There also exists a Spamassassin Spam Box that can be enabled and used to collect / view all emails that Spamassassin marks as spam. Using cPanel a user can activate, deactivate or configure filtering options for Spamassassin. It is used to filter incoming email messages on a domain. Spamassassin is a free software that comes with all cPanel / WHM installations.
