| To configure Spam Assassin:
1. Click on the "Mail" button at your control panel
2. Click on the "Spam Assassin" link
3. Click on the "Configure Spam Assassin" link
4. Fill in the necessary fields:
* blacklist_from: Used to specify addresses which send mail that is often tagged (incorrectly) as non-spam, but which the user doesn't want. Same format as whitelist_from
* required_hits: Set the number of hits required before a mail is considered spam. n.nn can be an integer or a real number. 5.0 is the default setting, and is quite aggressive; it would be suitable for a single-user setup, but if you're an ISP installing SpamAssassin, you should probably set the default to be more conservative, like 8.0 or 10.0
* rewrite_subject: By default, the subject lines of suspected spam will not be tagged. This can be enabled here by setting this to 1.
* subject_tag: Text added to the Subject: line of mails that are considered spam, if rewrite_subject is 1. _HITS_ in the tag will be replace with the calculated score for this message. _REQD_ will be replaced with the threshold.
whitelist_from: Used to specify addresses which send mail that is often tagged (incorrectly) as spam; it also helps if they are addresses of big companies with lots of lawyers. This way, if spammers impersonate them, they'll get into big trouble, so it doesn't provide a shortcut around SpamAssassin. Whitelist and blacklist addresses are now file-glob-style patterns, so friend@somewhere.com, *@isp.com, or *.domain.net will all work. Specifically, * and ? are allowed, but all other metacharacters are not. Regular expressions are not used for security reasons.
