Stop Spam Forever: How to Configure SpamFilters (SpamAssassin) in cPanel
Spam isn't just annoying; it's dangerous. For businesses Worldwide, a single phishing email can lead to data breaches. Fortunately, your cPanel hosting comes with a powerful bodyguard: SpamFilters (formerly SpamAssassin).
How it Works
SpamFilters assigns a "score" to every incoming email based on hundreds of tests. Does it have a suspicious attachment? Is the sender's IP blacklisted? If the score is too high, the email is blocked.
Configuring Your Shield
✅ Auto-Delete
Set a high threshold (e.g., Score 8). Emails clearly identified as spam will be deleted instantly. You never even see them.
📂 Spam Box
Set a lower threshold (e.g., Score 5). These emails are moved to a "Spam" folder, so you can review them just in case.
Whitelist & Blacklist
Waiting for an important email from a partner in London? Add their domain to your Whitelist to ensure it always gets through. Receiving junk from a specific nuisance? Add them to the Blacklist to block them forever.
