Resolved Spamassassin - no scan is performed / x-spam missing in headers

steven_h

New Pleskian
Hey guys,

I've been trying to setup SpamAssassin but it doesn't seem to scan my mail. I sent myself a message I was quite convinced would be seen as spam, but don't see any score back in the headers (or anywhere else).

Could anyone point me in the right direction? Below are the steps I took:

  • Activated from Tools & Settings > Spam Filter > Switch on server-wide SpamAssassin spam filtering

  • Checked that it was running : systemctl status spamassassin (enabled, active)

  • plesk bin spamassasssin --info-server ouput:

    plesk bin spamassassin --info-server
    Spam filter configuration for *@*.

    Status true
    Apply individual settings to spam true
    filtering
    The score that a message must 7.00
    receive to qualify as spam
    Add the following text to the true
    beginning of subject of each
    message recognized as spam
    Modify spam mail subject text *****SPAM***** _SCORE_

    Black list
    ================================
    Server-wide black list:

    White list
    ================================
    Server-wide white list:

    SUCCESS: Gathering server wide information complete.
