Customising Spam Assassin - more aggressive filtering recommendations

  • you are not failing SPF with spam assain. (at a guess)
  • do you have grey lisitng enabled
  • Class emails as SPAM if they fail SPF check
  • Virtualmin check SPF records? - #10 by Ilia - Virtualmin - Virtualmin Community
    • Decide where to set the rule
      • Global Rule: Webmin → SpamAssassin Mail Filter → Header and Body Tests → Switch to advanced mode
      • Virtual Server Rule: Virtualmin → Mail Options → SpamAssassin Configuration → Header and Body Tests → Switch to advanced mode
        • this might not be available and dpeneds on your Virtualmin configuration set during the POST-Installation wizard.
    • Add these ‘SpamAssassin test scores’ or what you want to assign, maybe just SPF_FAIL = 10.00 (which works for me on cPanel)
      • SPF_FAIL = 10.00
      • SPF_SOFTFAIL = 5.00
      • SPF_HELO_FAIL = 5.00
