Spam Filters

Manage the settings for the spam filters (powered by Apache SpamAssassin™) for your email accounts. Identify unsolicited bulk email, more commonly known as spam, and send it to a separate folder (Spam Box) or automatically delete it (Auto-Delete) from your email account. For more information, read the Apache SpamAssassin documentation.

Adjust Spam Threshold Score

Configure the Spam Score Threshold. If your hosting provider enables rewrites, the server will add a “***SPAM***” tag to the subject when the message’s calculated spam score meets or exceeds the Spam Threshold Score.

Spam messages score higher calculated spam scores than regular messages. If a message’s calculated spam score meets or exceeds the Spam Threshold Score, the system will label that message as spam. For example, an account that uses a Spam Threshold Score of 10 will only mark messages that are obviously spam. A Spam Threshold Score of 2 will label many messages as spam, which includes messages that are likely not spam. We recommend that new users use the default setting of 5. We recommend that an ISP set this score to 8. The Spam Threshold Score does not affect the Auto-Delete Threshold Score.
