Spamassassin

[kw1162]

I recently moved from IMail and RAQ, to Plesk as a single server hosting solution. The Plesk has generally worked ok, but the Spamassassin is not helping much. Training for some of my customers has started to hang the server. Does anybody know of a good configuration for this, or just a better product to use?
Thanks

Note that another way to train Spamassassin is to upload spam filter rules manually.


You may download spamassassin rules for example from:
http://www.rulesemporium.com/rules.htm


You need to put them to %plesk_dir%Additional\Perl\site\share\spamassassin
in Plesk for Windows.

Then restart Plesk Management Service


In the Plesk for Linux these configuration files should go in the site-specific area - typically /etc/mail/spamassassin or /etc/spamassassin. All files in this directory matching *.cf will be processed in lexical order.

If you put the *.cf files in /etc/mail/spamassassin then they are applied to all users on the system.

If you want to make the rules specific to one user, its different. Putting the *.cf files in the user's $HOME/.spamassassin/ directory won't work, they actually have to be in the $HOME/.spamassassin/user_prefs file.
