Title: How To Enable SpamAssassin in cPanel or Plesk
Post by: Dynaweb on January 06, 2015, 12:44:49 AM
If you are looking for a way to lessen the amount of unwanted SPAM messages to your inbox, SpamAssassin can be a great help.

SpamAssassin is a powerful, automated mail filter that helps identify and flag unsolicited email (spam) before it hits your inbox. Both cPanel and Plesk offer built-in integration with SpamAssassin for easy setup.
This guide walks you through enabling SpamAssassin on your hosting account, depending on whether you're using cPanel or Plesk.

NOTICE: As with any technology that uses pattern recognition (like antivirus software), there is always a small chance of false positives. This means that legitimate emails may be mistakenly marked as spam and placed in your Spam folder.

For this reason, we do not recommend enabling the "Auto-Delete" option in SpamAssassin. Instead, we advise users to regularly review the contents of their Spam folder before permanently deleting any messages.
Being cautious can help prevent important messages from being lost.
