Im not trying to do anything fancy, just setup spam assassin and understand the settings. I started by going into Cpanel and enabling spam assasin. I saw the spam box feature and think I understand what that's for. I don't want the spam sent to another account so I left it disabled.
Next I looked at the spam assassin configuration settings.
Blacklist_from- I understand this
Required_hits- Im pretty sure this means the number of identical messages received before they start getting marked as spam.
Rewrite_subject- I assume I want this set to 1, how could it stop spam set to 0?
Score- Im completely baffled by this setting
Subject_tag- I understand what this does.
Whitelist_from- I understand what this is for
To try and understand the rest, I went to the spamassassin.org website and took a look at the wikki. This left me even more confused, I was unable to find any information on the above. I have always had trouble getting useful info from Wikkis, so this is probably my own fault.
Next I checked the Cpanel documentation on this site. It failed to explain anything about the score setting.
Next I searched this forum for spam assassin score. After reading the results, I am even more confused. I still dont know how to use the feature or exactly what it does. If someone could fill in the holes in my knowledge of the basic settings, I would apreciate it.
Thanks
