The feature is called SpamAssasin and its included in the latest versions of cPanel. If you have this brand new SpamAssasin, you will feel that avoid spam with cPanel is that easy.

If you see a clickable option named ‘SpamAssasin’ then you’re alright. Now let’s see how it works. With following this tutorial, you will no longer confuse with the SpamAssasin.

Click on the ‘SpamAssasin’ link. You will be presented with a window where you can check the status of the software and configure it. On top you can see if it’s enabled or not. If you see a message saying: ‘SpamAssasin is currently: Disabled’ then you need to enable the feature in order to block spam.

Now, that you’ve got the software enabled the subject of all email messages that are marked as spam will include a prefix to help you understand that those messages have been identified as spam. For example if an unsolicited email message has the subject ‘Hello this is a spam message please open it’ then it will be detected and a prefix will be added. The subject will be transformed to something like this: ‘****_SPAM_****Hello this is a spam message please open it’. That way, when you open your mailbox to check your emails, you will know which messages have been identified as spam and delete them.
