I've just installed your MailScanner, and e-mails are now arriving marked as '{Definitely Spam?}' - so the checking is definitely working.

How do I set it server wide to delete these e-mails ? - Do I have to manually edit the file:

/usr/mailscanner/etc/rules/spamhigh.action.rules

and change each from deliver to delete ?? - Or is there a better (or easier/quicker) way of doing this ?

Thanks in advance,
Daniel

Where did you install this from, WHM? Or did you install this one? http://www.configserver.com/free/mailscanner.html I don't recall seeing this in WHM.

If from that link, then check the FAQ for it.
http://www.configserver.com/techfaq/faqlist.php?catid=5 or more precisely, http://www.configserver.com/techfaq/index.php?faqid=31
Yes it was the one from configserver.com - Although the FAQ you quote refers to their Mail Scanner 'Front End' which is another package (chargeable).

Thanks
Daniel

if you dont have their front-end then your first post is right, you will have to replace the entries in spamhigh.rules.conf

if your setting a global option, you could always use replace from the shell to change them all

Code:
replace "deliver" "delete" -- /usr/mailscanner/etc/rules/spamhigh.action.rules
