¿Cómo puedo reducir el spam con SpamAssassin en DirectAdmin?

SpamAssassin scores incoming email and filters out likely spam. Enabling and tuning it in DirectAdmin keeps your inbox cleaner. Here is how to set it up.

Activación de SpamAssassin #

1. Inicia sesión en DirectAdmin (normalmente tudominio.com:2222).
2. Ir a Gestor de cuentas o E-mail Manager y haga clic en SpamAssassin (or “Spam Filters”).
3. Turn SpamAssassin en.
4. Save your settings.

Setting the spam score #

• The score sets how strict filtering is. A lower number is stricter.
• A score around 5 is a common starting point.
• If too much real mail is flagged, raise the number slightly.
• If too much spam gets through, lower it.

Decidir qué hacer con el correo basura #

• Tag it: add a label like [SPAM] to the subject and deliver it anyway.
• Move it: send flagged mail to a spam folder.
• Delete it: discard high-scoring spam automatically (use with care).

Lista blanca y lista negra #

• Whitelist: always allow specific senders or domains.
• Blacklist: always block specific senders or domains.
• Add addresses in the SpamAssassin settings and save.

Consejos #

• Start with tagging rather than deleting, so you can review results.
• Whitelist trusted contacts to avoid missing important mail.
• Review your spam folder occasionally for false positives.

Solución de problemas #

• Correo real marcado: raise the score and whitelist the sender.
• Sigue llegando spam: lower the score gradually.
• Correo perdido: Evita la eliminación automática hasta que te fíes de la configuración.
