Switching on Spam Filter
To switch on spam filtering for a mailbox:
- On your Home page, click the domain name you need.
- Click the
Mail icon in the Services group.
- Click the e-mail address you need.
- Make sure that SpamAssassin is enabled: see whether the SpamAssassin status shows On in the Info group. If it shows Off, click the
Mailbox icon in the Tools group, then select the Enable spam filtering check box, and click OK.
Now all the incoming mail will be filtered on the server side. By default, spam filter does not delete spam mail, it only adds the "X-Spam-Flag: YES" and "X-Spam-Status: Yes" headers to the message, and "*****SPAM*****" text string to the beginning of Subject line of each message recognized as spam. These settings are fine if you prefer to filter mail with a filtering program installed on your local computer – once mail has been retrieved from your mailbox.
If you rely entirely on the Plesk server's spam filter, you may configure it so as to automatically delete the suspicious messages as they come. To configure the spam filter, follow the instructions below.
