Resolved Does SpamAssassin Scan Outgoing Mail ?

[9musashi]

Hello, does SA in Plesk also filtering outbound mail ? If it doesnt by default, how do I configure SA to also scan outgoing mail ? I will also appreciate any other outbound spam filtering solution other than SA (amavis ?) , if any. I think this is a very important feature in mail server now. Even Cpanel already iintegrate this feature (Outbound filtering) with SA.

I know there is MailChannels but self filtering in Plesk before relay it to MailChannels will keep your MailChannels usage low. We all know that they charge you from all emails relayed , not only legitimate emails but also spam emails. Once many of your client's PC infected with malware then it could make mailchannels cost very high.

I think that this documentation would be interesting for you - Protection from Outbound Spam
And this one DKIM, SPF, and DMARC Protection

Hello Igor, thanks for your reply, really appreciate it. But unfortunately, both links are far from relevant to my question. Make me wonder do you really read my first post or just the title ?

Outbound mail cannot be filtered by SpamAssasin. There are feature requests for this on Feature Suggestions: Top (1837 ideas) – Your Ideas for Plesk (keywords "outbound spam filter"), but unfortunately with very few votes only.

I sometimes wonder why users vote for stuff that does not really enhance server security like "Server Health: Show Apache CPU Usage per domain" (which can very easily be found by a console command) while the really important everyday tasks stuff, that cannot easily be accomplished by Linux commands is not voted for. Maybe the User Voice list is already overcrowded.

That's sad. Outgoing mail scanning is an important feature these days. We do not even need powerful antispam software to scan outbound mail, free amavisd/SA will do.

I placed a new feature request here - Scan Outbound Mail For Spam With Amavisd, SpamAssassin Or Other Free AntiSpam

Please vote if you need this feature like me.

Voted for it.

Voted for it.

Thank you.

Right now, my plan is to create a relay server which scan outbound mail with amavisd. I'm just too scare to install this on plesk server, plesk will probably break it with their update.
