spam assassin is not working

[screamv]

Hello, I cannot get Spam Assassin to work. I have the "hits" set to 1, and I checked the "server wide settings" box. I made sure spam filtering was enabled for individual mailboxes.

In spite of this, when I download messages into my pop3 mail client, no subjects are edited with the text I entered in "modify spam mail subject".

I receive 30-50 spam messages daily.

Same here. But it even worst that it marked the non-spam mail as spam! But those spma mail didn't marked as [SPAM] in the subjects. I set my "Hits" to 4 in earlier, but i have to set it to 6 now to avoid "miss-marking" as spam.

By the way, how do i train my SpamAssassin and apply the Spam Filter's rules to a particular domains?

let your mailbox fill up with spam mail
Domains/domain.com/mail/[email protected]/spamfilter/training
mark the spam and click "It's Spam!"
mark the non spam and click "It's Not Spam"

cheers!

My spam filter icon is not clickable. I do have Spam Assassin enabled, and there is mail the pop3 account.

If the spamassassin icon is not clickable, then make sure you have PSA-Spamassassin installed. The psa-spamassassin is what makes the icon available in the control panel.

It is definitely installed, and spam filtering is enabled that domains.

In Server/Services/Spamassassin/
do you have both Server wide settings and
Personal settings checked ?

 

[screamv]

I only had server wide checked. Now that I checked personal, I have the training option.

However, I don't want to individually train the mailboxes. I want server wide spam filtering. What's the point of have a server wide option if you have to also check personal to get filtering to work?

Besides, even without the training, with the server wide box checked, and hits set to 1, it should be catching some spam messages. It doesn't.

Thanks for the help!

If you train your mailbox It will...
If you want serverwide then you need to setup your own rules set of rules also...
I use these rules http://www.rulesemporium.com/rules.htm and RulesDuJour to update them via cron daily... additionally .
You may want to block some yourself... In your local.cf..
I update my blacklist_from lines quite often with spam addresses..I have 2k blocked that way..

You can also try adding this to your local.cf
use_bayes 1
bayes_auto_learn 1
bayes_auto_learn_threshold_nonspam 0.1
bayes_auto_learn_threshold_spam 8.9
