Hello VinnyT,
Thank you for your post.
For your convenience, please see provided answers inline:
"I just picked up a license for MagicSpam premium for my server. I have
no idea what to do with it now. There are no guides or anything that I
can find. As far as I can tell, it appears to be running. Although now
greylisting is magically turned on. In the past this has always slowed
me down. Should i leave it on?"
We would recommend turning off the greylisting and leave MagicSpam to
deal with the spam on your system.
"As far as MagicSpam, should i leave it running with Spamassassin?"
Please feel free to utilize a content filter such as SpamAssassin in
conjunction with MagicSpam. Some of our customers choose to use
SpamAssassin behind MagicSpam; this allows MagicSpam to remove the
large majority of the spam messages and leaves SpamAssassin to scan the
few leftover messages. This allows you to still benefit the performance
gains that MagicSpam offers, while allowing a content filter to perform
the deeper scanning that you are looking for.
"How do i configure magicspam? There seems to be no way to flag a
message as spam after it comes in, so how do you train it?"
By default MagicSpam rejects all detected spam messages; however, in
MagicSpam PRO version you can enable policies and BMS lists in 'FLAG'
mode, which will send detected spam messages to the customer's spam
folder, from where they can be reviewed and excluded if needed.
For start we would recommend that you only enable "Recommeded"
MagicMail policies and BMS lists and then start enabling other policies
and BMS lists depending on uncaught spam on your server.
"If i go to each domain in my panel, there is a magicspam icon, but it
displays the global magicspam settings, which are not really useful."
MagicSpam does not have separated spam setting for different domains;
however, with the PRO version there are two levels - Plesk admin level
and Plesk customer level.
You could assign MagicSpam to one or more Plesk subscription
packages, which gives the Plesk customers access to their individual
MagicSpam settings.
At the admin level, any enabled spam setting or BMS list will be
enforced and will override the choice made at the Plesk customer level.
Alternatively, you can disable MagicSpam protection for any given domain
hosted on your Plesk server by adding it to the 'Recipient' exemption.
If you navigate to the MagicSpam interface, you can then click on
Settings / Exemptions. Click on Mailboxes with Protection Disabled,
then you can add a wildcard entry:
*@targetdomain.tld
The modification should take effect immediately.
We hope this information helps.
Please let us know if you have any other questions in the meantime.
