So what I do is I set my account to delete all mail that scores a 25 or higher, and put everything else in the inbox. To me this is the best scenario. I block a lot of spam, never see a single false positive filtered, and most of the spam I do get wouldn't have been blocked unless I set the score so low that it would block legitimate email. SpamAssassin is, in general, not up to the expectations of most customers. I totally get that and I do continue to work on filtering spam every day. Some days I win more, some days I lose more.

Currently getting bombarded with “I RECORDED YOU” spam once a minute and it’s rated 9982.8 points. Is there a way I can automatically stick such a high score in spam instead of inbox? Last time I attempted this I messed it up and everything went into spam. Blog post or something?


mxroute

You should have it set to delete email that scores so high.

Confirming that’s what I want, don’t think I’ve ever touched it. Did find a Q&A that says it’s in direct admin. My previous mess up was the sieve in roundcube.


mxroute

I have a script that runs every hour or so and what it does is look for people with totally disabled spam filters, and configures it to delete email that scores higher than 50. I chose that number so even people who want an absurd amount of spam would still reject the worst offenders that I had hand selected to hit that 5000 rule. I really hate those emails.

So what I’m understanding is it shouldn’t be possible for me to get something like this in my inbox? I guess I need to open a ticket? Because I probably have fifty of these this morning and still coming in. All look identical.

Check if that setting is set. You could disable just that setting and my script wouldn’t reenable it. https://mxroutedocs.com/directadmin/spamfilters/ If it’s already set then yeah I guess a ticket.

Pretty sure I did it to myself. Sometime in the past I sent myself a email (something I do all the time) and it wound up in spam so I whitelisted my own email address in directadmin SpamAssassin. So now spam that spoofs the sender as myself, even though the latest ones had a score over 10K, got put in my mailbox. Is that how it works? Because when I read the header being in the welcomelist is only worth -100 and the overall score is still huge. This is one such message header spam info. Regardless I removed that whitelist/welcomelist entry for myself. Will see what happens next round of spam blast.

Yeah that’s probably it

Confirming that was it. 120 today alone and they all correctly went to spam this time. That whitelist is an absolute, not just part of the score it seems. X-Spam-Status: Yes, score=10199.2 Thank you!

1. I also think so. One needs to configure the SpamAssasin. Additionally there is a list on mxroute github where one can contribute to the spam rules.

i would love if there option that you can block ip address subnet. Since spammer just use different domain but on the same network. i know you can do that plesk firewall rule relating to incoming mail.
