    Hey everyone.

    I have SpamAssasin enabled in WHM > Tweak Settings but it doesn't seem to turn it on by default for ALL domains on the system. It forces the domain owner to go to Mail, SpamAssasin and Enable it.

    How can I by default have it turned ON for the entire server?


    HMMM /etc/mail/spamassasin local.cf shows me the following:




    PHP:
    # These values can be overridden by editing ~/.spamassassin/user_prefs.cf
    # (see spamassassin(1) for details)

    # These should be safe assumptions and allow for simple visual sifting
    # without risking lost emails.

    required_score 7
    rewrite_header subject     [SPAM]

    by default new accounts don't have the /home/user/.spamassasin folder so I'm guessing it just doesn't enable it for that user/domain.

    Any ideas?

    To be honest, I really have no idea. I must wonder, though, if there's any way to utilize cPanel's "skel" folder for this purpose.

    I haven't looked at the contents of the ~/.spamassassin folder lately, but depending on how general it is, you might be able to customize it and include it in your skel folder for new accounts? The main question is: Is there something in this folder that enables spamassassin on the user's account, or is that setting somewhere else?

    Let me know if you find out anything. I'm definitely interested...

    Go on, have a guess
    Actually, you could use the /scripts/postwwwacct system for that and create a file in the new account directory called:

    /home/account/.spamassassinenable

    Do you mean use the postwwwacct script to create the file after the new acct is created, or do you mean add the .spamassassinenable file to the skel folder and do something else with the postwwwacct script?

    Just putting the .spamassassinenable file in the skel folder would generate the desired effect without using the postwwwacct script, right?

    No difference, just an alternative :)
