Spam Assassin

cPanel Settings

Spam Score Limit

SpamAssassin screens each incoming email message and scores it based on its spam characteristics. By default, SpamAssassin considers messages with a score of 5 to be spam; you can adjust the spam score limit to more or less aggressive. Select the desired spam score limit from the "Score" drop-down menu in the Filters section. The lower the score, the more restrictive the filter will be:

• 0 means everything incoming will be marked as spam.
• 5 is the default setting (and works well for typical users).
• 10 means that any message with a score of 10 or less will not be marked as spam.
