About SpamAssassin

The SpamAssassin Plugin library uses the libspamc library to communicate with SpamAssassin Daemon ( spamd ) to detect if a Spam message is received. You need to install SpamAssassin and run spamd before enabling the SpamAssassin Plugin for Internet Exchange Messaging Server. For details on how to install and configure SpamAssassin, please visit: SpamAassassin Documentation.

Configure SpamAssassin Plugin

To enable SpamAssassin plugin, you need to define the hostname and the port number of your spamd server. The system assumes you install spamd on the same server where Internet Exchange is installed. The default port number used by spamd is 783. For performance reason, you should consider to install spamd on a separate machine to reduce the loading on the Internet Exchange Messaging Server system.

When you have recevied a Spam mail message

When spamd reports a spam mail has been received, you can configure the SpamAssassin plugin to perform one of the following actions:

Define action for different channel

You can define action for different output channel in Internet Exchange Messaging Server. For example, you can configure SpamAssassin plugin to add the "X-Spam-Status" header for your Local MessageStore user ( the LOCAL channel ) but to discard the message for your ccMail/Notes connector user. To configure the action against different channels, select the output channel name from the list and clicks the Configure button.
