Our website is hosted by another company and we use cPanel to manage it. We have Apache SpamAssassin enabled on our account, but are still getting flooded with email. I have spent several days customizing and testing the SpamAssassin 'user_prefs' file to no avail. I need someone who is familiar with SpamAssassin to help show me what settings are correct/incorrect and how to best configure it. The default score in SpamAssassin is 5. I lowered it to 2, but a lot of spam still came through and I was worried about losing legitimate email so I raised the spam score to 3. Most spam comes through with a score of 1 or 2. I know how to use the whitelist and blacklist options and have done so. I have blacklisted many spam TLD's such as '.link'. I recently added the 'score BAYES' settings to our user_prefs file, but I cannot get the BAYES score to display in any email headers. Attached are our current settings. To keep it shorter, I did not include the full whitelist & blacklist.

I've been using and administering Linux servers for over 15 years. My clients include my country's largest water utility company ([login to view URL]), the United Nations ([login to view URL]), and our Stock Exchange ([login to view URL]), for all of whom I've installed a form of email filtering. With SpamAssassin, your user_prefs file is just one element of SpamAssassin's functionality. And it's probably not the cause of your Spam troubles. You probably need to check your [login to view URL] file and see what settings it has. I can assist you to run tests on your SpamAssassin setup and fine tune it to your needs. I would also look at your mail server (most likely Postfix) to verify that it's actually using the right paths to spamassassin. After all configuration, I'll also help train your Bayes filters with known spam and ham - which should improve your detection rates tremendously. Thanks for your consideration. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Peter
