How does SpamAssassin work?

SpamAssassin allows you to limit the spam e-mails in your e-mail account, using a score system for each incoming e-mail. The score is the sum of several parameters, called tests, which are daily downloaded from several official websites and checked, according to specific rules.

The system scans the incoming e-mails with a specific score. The default level is 5 and it represents the level of sensibility used to detect spam e-mails. The lowest is the value the more sensitive is the email filter.

You can enlist a specific e-mail account or domain in a whitelist, so that all the incoming emails from that specific account or domain will always be accepted, or in a blacklist, so that all the incoming e-mails from that specific account or domain will always be automatically routed to the spam folder.

You can set SpamAssassin to:

  1. Route spam emails in the spam folder automatically
    The filter will check e-mails, with no modification, and route them in the dedicated folder. All emails in the spam folder will be deleted automatically in 10 days
  2. Delete spam emails automatically
    The filter will check e-mails and, if considered as a spam, delete them automatically, with no additional notification
  3. Modify spam e-mails header
    The filter will check e-mails and, if considered as a spam, add ***SPAM*** in the e-mail header.
