Overview
You can use the Advanced Editor section of WHM's Exim Configuration Manager interface (WHM >> Home >> Service Configuration >> Exim Configuration Manager) to configure your mail servers to scan outgoing mail for spam. The outgoing_spam_scan (Scan outgoing messages for spam) feature blocks spam that your users send to your system.
Warning:
Scan outgoing mail with Apache SpamAssassin
To scan outgoing mail with Apache SpamAssassin, perform the following steps:
- Select the outgoing_spam_scan checkbox to enable the feature. The box will expand to show information about the spam scan process.
- Click Save.
Note:
If your system administrator has enabled one of the two following settings in WHM's Exim Configuration Manager interface (WHM >> Home >> Service Configuration >> Exim Configuration Manager), Apache SpamAssassin scans messages that your system will forward to remote email addresses:
- Do not forward to external recipients if it matches the Apache SpamAssassin™ internal spam_score setting.
- Do not forward mail to external recipients based on the defined Apache SpamAssassin score.
