SpamAssassin is an e-mail spam filtering system that helps to block, mark or filter out mails you don’t want. SpamAssassin works by scanning incoming email messages and assigning them a score based on how likely they are to be spam. If a message scores above a certain threshold, it is marked as spam and can be filtered out or sent to a separate folder.

STEP 1 : Log in to your Webuzo admin panel using your username and password.

STEP 3 : Click on the “Edit” or “Configure” button for the plan to which you want to enable SpamAssassin.

Spam Threshold Score
A spam threshold score is a score assigned to an email message by a spam filter, indicating the likelihood that the message is spam. The default value is typically set to “5”, but you can adjust it higher or lower based on your preference and the level of sensitivity you want for spam filtering. If an email message is scored above the threshold, it is usually marked as spam and may be filtered out of the recipient’s inbox or sent to a separate spam folder. If the threshold score is set too low, legitimate messages may be marked as spam and filtered out. On the other hand, if the threshold score is set too high, some spam messages may get through and land in the recipient’s inbox.
