How to use SpamAssassin?
Do you want to protect your Email Box from Spam? Then you should follow the CPanel Tutorial provided to learn about “SpamAssassin” and how you can use it to prevent the Email Spam. It actually protects you from other people who are abusing your email. Let’s get started with the process.
How to locate SpamAssassin and Authentication?
There are basically following things you need to do;
• Open the CPanel.
• Then find the Email Section by scrolling down.
"Attach the Screenshots here."
After that you further need to do two things;
• Find the “Apache SpamAssassin” and then open it in a new window, that will protect you from the Spam.
• Then you need to find the Email “Authentication” and open it in a new window also.

Let us get started with the SpamAssassin which is open up in a new tab; SpamAssassin: It is a Mail Filter, which will filter the email, providing you the ability to control the high filtering range and low filtering range. • Setting the Score on SpamAssassin: You are provided with the ability to set from a level of 1 to the level of 10. The default you get with the SpamAssassin is 5. So, the higher is the score (like 7 or 10), the more conservative are the settings, ultimately blocking everything. NOTE: It is important to note that some useful emails are coming your way, which can be triggered as the Spam. So, you need to set the score at the right amount like (5) to filter only the unimportant emails. "Attach the Screenshots here."
• Auto-Delete Spam: You also get the functionality of “Auto-Delete Spam," which is not recommended. Because if you have the right email that is triggered as Spam, then it will be auto-deleted. "Attach the Screenshots here."
• Further Configurations: You can also click the “Configure Apache SpamAssassin” to configure the SpamAssassin further, allowing you to; Blacklist (Block) the addresses or persons who are sending you fast Spam. Or, Whitelist which sets it on the priority of importance. Let’s move onto the next step, which is the “Email Authentication." "Attach the Screenshots here."
Email Authentication: It is a way that can help you prevent Spam, but how? Actually, Spammers will try to hijack the Domain or email from your own Domain, or they will pretend to do it. It will equip the email messages with only the valid information, which results in the auto-detection of outgoing and incoming messages. There are certain features in the Email Authentication. “Enabling” them will prevent people from forging emails that claim to be your own Domain. It will also try to protect your Domain as much as possible, like ending up on the blacklist.
The two features are; • DKIM • SPF • DKIM:
It is a feature that verifies the incoming emails. It generally ensures that the incoming messages are unmodified and are only from the sender who claims to send them. Ultimately a feature for the prevention of spam messages which are incoming. They will help you in the protection of email and reputation of email concerning email service providers and keeping the domain whitelist. • SPF:
This feature will allow you to specify the IP Addresses and the Servers that are only authorized to send the emails from the Domain you are using. Ultimately, a feature which prevents the spam messages which are outgoing.
