Spam Box? [moved]

[thegent]

OK so i activate the spam box
how on earth do i access it to see what is there?
the instructions on the page seem to have been written by experts for experts

and the cPanel manual does not even mention it

 

[dalem]

log into your mail server via pop3 and add /spam with the username at the end or use webmail or IMAP there will be a spam folder


From the SA panel in cpanel

This feature allows emails identified as spam by SpamAssassin to be delivered to a separate mail folder named "spam". If this folder is not regularly checked and emptied, it may cause your email or file system quotas to be exceeded, resulting in a failure to receive legitimate messages. You can easily use IMAP or Horde/IMP to check messages that are routed to this box. If you wish to use pop3 to check the spam box, just add "/spam" (without the quotes) to the end of your pop3 login. (Example: [email protected]/spam)

thanks but i read that, and tried it and it does not work

is one supposed to just know how to do it?

 

[dalem]

then you probably dont have any spam in the box it's not created until spam is delivered to it

 

[thegent]

thankyou

it is such a shame that a good product is so badly let down by its documentation, or lack there of

I am afraid that a lot of open source software is not well documented for the end user (thats just the way it works)
