Configuring Spam Filtering
<\/strong>In addition to enabling and disabling spam filtering, you can also configure SpamAssassin by changing the spam threshold or adding addresses to whitelists and blacklists.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n
\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n
Changing the spam threshold
<\/strong>Email messages are scanned upon arrival and given a score out of 10 based on their likelihood of being spam. Spam Assassin\u2019s default spam threshold score is 5, so any message that scores 5 or higher will be sent to the spam folder. If you find that too few or too many emails are being filtered, you can adjust the threshold score.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n
To do this:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n- Go back to the Process New Emails and Mark Them As Spam section and click on the blue Spam Threshold Score<\/strong> link.
![\"process](\"https:\/\/www.eukhost.com\/kb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/spam-3.png\")
<\/li>\r\n- When the new page opens, click on the dropdown options box and choose the new threshold score<\/strong> you desire. The lower the number, the more aggressive the spam filtering will be.

<\/li>\r\n- Once you have made your decision, click the blue Update Scoring Options<\/strong> button to complete the process save your changes and then click on Return to Overview<\/strong>.<\/li>\r\n
- Additionally, you can also enter emails in the whitelist and blacklist to ensure emails you want to receive don\u2019t get blocked and that those you want to block don\u2019t get through.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n
\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n
To do this:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n- Scroll down to Additional Configurations <\/strong>(For Advanced Users).<\/li>\r\n
- Click on the Show Advanced Configurations<\/strong> link.<\/li>\r\n
- Click on either the Edit Spam Whitelist<\/strong> or Edit Spam Blacklist <\/strong>settings link.<\/li>\r\n
- When the page opens, click the Add New Whitelist\/Blacklist Item<\/strong> link.
![\"Whitelist\"](\"https:\/\/www.webhosting.uk.com\/kb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Spam-5.png\")
<\/li>\r\n- Type in the name of the email address you wish to whitelist or blacklist in the input field<\/strong> and click the blue Update<\/strong> button.<\/li>\r\n
- If you want to receive or block messages from a specific domain instead of an individual address, you can do this by typing *@domainname.com.<\/li>\r\n
- You can return to these pages to remove items from the lists if you wish.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n
