SpamAssassin Support

Spam Assassin Help

SpamAssassin is a set of filters on the servers which checks every new mail arrival to determine whether it is spam or not. All e-mails passing through RimaSec.Net servers are scanned for SPAM and or VIRUSES.

The default hits allowed to determines if a message is SPAM or not, is five (5). Each user may customize the total hits needed for SpamAssassin to trigger a message as SPAM, or they can even modify each rule and its hits.

To change the total number of hits, which is currently set to five (5), you will need to logon to your account and change directory (cd) to ~/.spamassassin and edit the file called user_prefs, using the editor of your choice (pico/vi/ee).

What you will need to change is the following:

# How many hits before a mail is considered spam.
# required_hits 5

Change it to:

# How many hits before a mail is considered spam.
required_hits 10
