Configuring SpamAssassin for Postfix on CentOS

by

0

In the process of receiving email, spamassassin will stand between the outside world and the email services running on your server itself. If it finds, according to its definition rules and configuration, that an incoming message is spam, it will rewrite the subject line to clearly identify it as such. Let’s see how.

The main configuration file is /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf, and we should make sure the following options are available (add them if they are not present or uncomment if necessary):

local.cf
report_safe 0
required_score 8.0
rewrite_header Subject [SPAM]

When report_safe is set to 0 (recommended value), incoming spam is only modified by modifying the email headers as per rewrite_header. If it is set to 1, the message will be deleted. To set the aggressivity of the spam filter, required_score must be followed by an integer or decimal number. The lesser the number, the more sensitive the filter becomes. Setting required_score to a value somewhere between 8.0 and 10.0 is recommended for a large system serving many (~100s) email accounts. Once you’ve saved those changes, enable and start the spam filter service, and then update the spam rules: Continue reading “Configuring SpamAssassin for Postfix on CentOS” »
