NOTE: This is a Bug report as this topic title was edited by a moderator:
Previous versions of WHM had Configure Auto-Delete Threshold Score set a floating value. Currently Version 76 (76.0.17 ) has Configure Auto-Delete Threshold Score set as only an integer value.




WHM version 76.0.17

Cpanel account Emails --> Spam Filtering [Apache Spam Assassin] -->

The previous system ( WHM 74 and before) was able to AUTO DELETE emails that exceeded the custom threshold to the criteria of X.XX specificity.

NOW: While the DELETE threshold can be set to a custom value of X.XX this value is not retained on WHM . And re-entering the view simply shows system as X level.

For example:

Account emails have Spam filtering enabled and spam is marked above custom level 4.5. I want to enable deleting spam above level 6.5 . This was previously standard / common.

This setting CAN BE SET using the

-->Configure Auto-Delete Threshold Score link

Within this I can set a Custom value X.XX; say I set the value to 6.5 .

Then save, the message "Success: The Auto-Delete Threshold Score has been updated to 6.5." is displayed. Then I exit back to the main Cpanel menu.
Returning to the Email --> Spam Filtering page it now states:

Auto-Delete is enabled. This will permanently delete all new email messages with a calculated spam score that meets or exceeds the Auto-Delete Threshold Score.

And clicking on the
-->Configure Auto-Delete Threshold Score link presents me with updating the custom score of 6

NOT 6.5 .

This is present on two separate servers both running WHM 76.0.17 so I believe this is present across all systems and is not server-specific.

EDIT:

This is provably a bug as email accounts that have not been edited since WHM 76 show "Spam Score threshold as 6.5" yet once this score is adjusted and saved - as shown above - as, say 6.55, this value is only saved as an interger (6) rather than as a float (6.55).

Thank you. I submitted a defect report. curiously I don't remember noticing this button before. Possbly using the words "Bug Report" would appear stronger on my visual radar!
