SOLVED White-list/Black-list address on SpamAssassin for entire server

[FM Kappungal]

Is there a 'global' white-list and/or black-list at the WHM level? I know we can whitelist and blacklist email addresses at individual cpanel account level. But want to know if there's a similar way to whitelist and/or blacklist for all accounts at once.


Thanks

Hello @FM Kappungal,

There's no corresponding WHM feature, but you can add whitelist and blacklist values to the global SpamAssassin configuration file. It's located at:

/etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf

You can read about the available configuration options at:

Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf - SpamAssassin configuration file

Thank you.

Great. Thanks @cPanelMichael !

CSF mailscanner will do this.
Or If you know the IP address(es), you could blacklist it(them) in CSF firewall, that would kill it dead.

Is that a paid add-on? @keat63

 

[keat63]

CSF Mailscanner is a paid add on, $55.
CSF Firewall is free, and if you don't already have this, then I would recommend it as a matter of utmost importance.

Is there a way I can download the "blacklist_from" addresses to a text file?

Hello @Websquad,

You can't directly download just that "blacklist_from" entries as a text file, however you could make use of the following UAPI function via the command line see to the entries:

UAPI Functions - SpamAssassin::get_user_preferences - Developer Documentation - cPanel Documentation

EX:

uapi --user=username SpamAssassin get_user_preferences

Thank you.
