I installed SpamAssasin and set it up in DA, I also use Spam Filter option in DirectAdmin (DA).
The problem is that if someone send me an email which contains any adult word in the body and a regular subject then it will not go to the Spam box, but if that email contains any adult word in the subject and no matter the body has adult word or not it will go to Spam box.
How do i send all the emails contain adult word in body to Spam box?
I need to clean up the .spamassassin directory for all the accounts on the server. The Bayes files are getting too big and causing mail handling issues.
How would I do that?
I assume this won't work - and don't want to try it until I hear a little feedback:
rm -f /home/*/.spamassassin/*bayes*
Basically, I need a command that will do what the above command looks like it would do - I just don't think the wildcards will work in that manner, and don't want to try it for fear of deleting items outside of the .spamassassin directory.
I'm running CentOS 5.3.x with cPanel/WHM - if it matters...
And feel free to suggest other spam blocking software - but we've gotten rather good at tweaking SA to get the job done. Just this annoyance of the bayes files growing continuously is a pain sometimes...
I'm running the latest port version on FreeBSD of Postfix, Spamassassin (Razor & Pryzor), ClamAV, and Amavisd-new. I haven't gotten any spam for a while. The 2-3 days including today i've been getting 10+ spams per day. This seemed to happen after the update of spamassasin recently.
Anyone else experiencing this? My rules are pretty quick, at spam-score "5" I reject the mail.
Hi i'm trying to use spamassassin from each user using .qmail from each mail user but i can't it dosen't works. Also i wish to know if i have any rule on spamassassin to check some words like sex viagra ,etc and if it's found it will delete it.

On step 3 of the tutorial, we are asked to change things in the /etc/exim.conf file, what is the proper command to navigate to this file and how to replace those text?
Quote:
The global spamassassin config file is in /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf
You'll want to make sure that you have the correct call to spamc in the spamcheck transport in your exim.conf: transport_filter = /usr/bin/spamc -u ${lookup{$domain}lsearch*{/etc/virtual/domainowners}{$value}}
For the lines i quoted, im not sure what i have to do here and how to do it.
Lastly how do i know if im installing latest version of spamas and how to test weather it is working against spam?
some good hosts that use more than just SpamAssassin (SA) for their spam filtering?
For instance, MediaTemple uses the Cloudmark plug-in, which greatly improves the stopping of spam. SA out of the box is horrible; and yes, I realize that with some tweaking it "can" be good.
I am setting up spam assassin white list and it says I can put *@domain.com so does that mean it will white list everything from domain.com ?

I am using cPanel 11 one of my Linux server with O.S. as Fedora core 4. For one of my websites I had enabled spam assassin a few days before. But now I want to disable it but not getting any option to do so.
there is a quota problem , i have checked my server
home/username/.spamassassing
.Spamassassing directoy using much Space .
would you please let me know , what is that dirctory doing ? and what will happen if i will delete all the files in the directory (Specially : auto_whitelist)
I have a dedicated server. It is a Fedora Core 6. It came with "Plesk 30 domain license". However, this license of Plesk doesn't have SpamAssassin enabled. In order to get the license with SpamAssassin, it costs an extra $30 a month.
I believe SpamAssassin by default is in fact installed on the sever, but some of my users are reporting that they are getting Spam. How can I check is SpamAssassin is running? How do I configure SpamAssassin to filter spam on all the e-mail addresses that are created in Plesk?
I want to setup Remote Spamassassin for Smartermail server. I want to the setup the spamassassin on a linux box. Can anybody help me with this as I am not getting any definitive guide for the same?
The problem I currently have is that all e-mails tagged by SpamAssassin as spam are deleted even though they are supposed to be moved to a different "probably-spam" file. In addition, I'd like to use the spamc + spamd configuration and I'm not using it now.
I tested that procmail is installed on my CentOS 5 server that's also using sendmail.
yum remove spamassassin // In case it is pre-installed. It was the last time I did this.
// Download it at spamassassin.apache.org: wget [url]
tar xvfz Mail-SpamAssassin-3.2.3.tar.gz
cd /Mail-SpamAssassin-3.2.3
perl build/check_dependencies // Checks which perl module dependencies are missing that need to be installed before proceeding. Then install them
perl Makefile.PL
make
make install
Upload your own spamassassin/local.conf to /etc/mail/spamassassin

I figured that this might be a permissions problem but what I can do without risking security?
My new server is set up and running fine but on the test account email I am getting a lot of spam again. I know spamassissin needs to "learn" but I don't want to go through that again.
Assuming I just need to copy my "experienced" spamassassin files over to the new server, what files need to be copied to give my new set up the same spam protection as the old?
I've been reading about SpamAssassin's Bayes filter. Apparently I need to forward examples of Spam and Ham to a specific email address which SA then checks.
Unfortunately, I do not suspect my average user will do this.
Here's what I'd have in a perfect world: a Webmail program and plugins for Thunderbird/Outlook/Outlook Express that will forward emails to the appropriate place whenever the Junk/Not Junk buttons are pressed. So far, the only one I've been able to find that will do this is Zimbra. However, Zimbra requires an entire server which is overkill for our small company.
I realize Thunderbird already has Bayes filters built in but I would like to do all the spam filtering server-side for consistency.
Is what I want possible?
If not, can anyone link me to a good tutorial for writing Thunderbird extensions?
I've been fighting with a cpanel VPN for a few days now. I'm trying to figure out how to implement a filter for stopping spam over a point count of say 10 from being sent to our central spam box.
I've tried several different settings in the .filter file, but am having no luck.
here is what is in the .filter now.
Code: $message_headers contains "X-Spam-Level: **********"+++++++/dev/null $h_X-Spam-Status: begins "Yes"+++++++spam@example.com This is what I had tried, with no luck
Code:
# Exim filter
logfile /home/USER/filter.log
logwrite "Logging"
if error_message then finish endif
if $h_X-Spam-Level: contains "**********" then Discard logwrite "discarded" seen finish #delete them! endif
if $h_X-Spam-Status: begins "Yes" then deliver spam@example.com logwrite "sending to spam" seen finish endif The log didn't work (I touched the file and chowned/chmoded it.. no luck), and all the mail kept getting through to the spam box.. some with scores of 20+.
It should be filtering the spam with a higher level (10 or up) and tossing them away, allowing the 5-10 point mails to go through to the spam box.
So far everything is going through. If you need more logs to see what is happening, I'll be happy to get them up.
