Getting Started from cPanel

Somewhere along the lines in the last few weeks getting everything configured, I realized my question about having a forwarding address for spam that gets through seems to possibly be already a part of the system with spamtrap and hamtrap, but they seem rarely mentioned and not very clearly documented. I did find one ambitious user who dug into the code to understand them better a few years ago…

I guess my question is – before I go and start trying to implement my “report spam folder” approach is, do spamtrap/hamtrap work in 2024? I’ve tried forwarding some messages inline and some as attachments… I’m not really clear which, if any are being processed by that system.

Everyone here has been so wonderfully helpful – it makes jumping over to Virtualmin a pleasure! – and yet no one mentioned hamtrap/spamtrap’s existence, which makes me wonder if that subsystem exists but doesn’t really work or something like that.

(I have implemented a number of your suggestions including @cyberndt’s about Postscreen, which has been great so far.)
