HOWTO: Show the spam score in the subject line of spam taged messages

[cpanelnick]

Enter WHM Main >> Service Configuration >> Exim Configuration Editor.

Change the value for "Text to add to the subject header for messages spamassassin marks as spam."

to

***SPAM*** Score:$spam_score

You could also use $spam_score_int if you do not want to see the decimal value.

***SPAM*** Score:$spam_score

Awesome! I have spent hours trying to get "**SPAM (_SCORE_)**" to work, which apparently doesn't work any more! Your solution got it to work for me. Thanks so much for sharing.

Where can i find the option "Text to add to the subject header for messages spamassassin marks as spam" ?

If i go here (WHM Main >> Service Configuration >> Exim Configuration Editor) there is not such an option. (version: cPanel 11.24.4-R33609 - WHM 11.24.2 - X 3.9)

thx

I have version: WHM 11.23.0 cPanel 11.23.3-R25133

And it's listed for me under "Filters" as "SpamAssassinTM: Text to be added Subject line for messages marked as spam. [?]". I'm not sure about other cPanel updates (HOPEFULLY when I update to 11.24, I won't lose the option!).
I have it set as: ***SPAM? ($spam_score)***

you mean WHM >> Exim >> Filters ?
i only have the option "System Filter File" there. nothing with spamassassin!

or do you mean Cpanel >> Spamassassin / E-mail Filtering ?
i have no "SpamAssassinTM: Text to be added Subject line for messages marked as spam" option there anywhere.


strange! what's going on??? :-(

[jpmohr]

It's in WHM.

I am not sure if the order of your WHM menu sections on the left is the same as mine, but it is my 7th section from the top: "Services Configuration".

The option for Exim Configuration Editor should be listed there.

Under the "Standard Options" bullet, mine lists "Filters" Under it is "SpamAssassinTM: Text to be added Subject line for messages marked as spam.", where I added the text: ***SPAM? ($spam_score)***

If you can't find it, do you have Spam Assassin installed? Is that something you have to install separately first?? (I didn't think of that until after I wrote the above). My VPS had it installed already, so I didn't have to do anything extra.... But, I'm wondering if that might be the reason you don't see the option....

I hope that helps.

WHM >> exim config >> filters = NO spamassassin (see picture)
