SpamAssassin helps filter spam emails so your inbox stays clean. Here’s how to set it up on your WhoGoHost account:
Step 1: Enable SpamAssassin
- Log in to your cPanel.
- Scroll to the Mail section and click SpamAssassin™.
- Click Enable SpamAssassin to turn it on.
- Set your Required Score (how strict you want it to be):
- 0 – Everything is marked as spam
- 5 – Default, moderate filtering
- 10 – Almost nothing is marked as spam
Once enabled, SpamAssassin applies to all emails on your account.
Step 2: Optional – Move Spam Emails Automatically
Since SpamAssassin no longer rewrites email subjects, you can set up email filtering to organize spam:
- Log in to webmail and create a folder called Spam.
- Go back to cPanel → User Level Filtering.
- Next to your email, click Manage Filters.
- Click Create a New Filter.
- Name your filter, e.g., SpamAssassin Rule.
- Set the conditions:
- From: Spam Status
- Condition: begins with
- Value: Yes
Click Activate.
Now, SpamAssassin will automatically flag spam and move it to your Spam folder.
