Q. Enabling SpamAssassin (for spam protection)
A. How do I protect myself from spam with SpamAssassin?
SpamAssassin is a special tool installed on your server to help combat spam before it gets to your mailbox. This keeps your E-mail box clean without much intervention on your part. However you need to configure your domain for this feature.
SpamAssassin is enabled through cPanel. The steps below describe how to enable your domain with SpamAssassin:
Step 1: Log into cPanel.
To log into cPanel, you should go to http://www.yourdomain.com/cpanel/ (where www.yourdomain.com is replaced by your account domain name).
Step 2: Locate the Mail link on the main screen upon login.
You will see this link after logging in (usually on the top row, on the left side).
Step 3: Click on Spam Assassin.
You will see this in the Mail Manager Main Menu (usually available as the third from the last option although it may be slightly different in your control panel).
Step 4: Press Enable Spam Assassin to activate spam-blocking!
You're all set! Check your e-mail and notice a considerable decrease in spam reaching your Inbox.
